The ancestors of the Texas Longhorn came over with Christopher Columbus's second voyage in 1493.They were established whereever conquistadors planted the red-and-yellow banner of Spain.

Physical Characteristics of the Longhorn

Texas was developed by Spain in the early 18th century, largely as a buffer against French encroachments to the east. San Antonio was founded in 1718, but Texas remained very remote, isolated from other Spanish colonies, and very sparsely settled. As late as the 1830s, there were probably no more than around 3,000 Hispanics in the province. With little human interference, Longhorns grew semi-wild, adapting to themselves to the harsh plains environment.
