Copano, Texas (original) (raw)
Copano (Spanish: El Copano) is a ghost town on the northwestern shore of Copano Bay in Refugio County, Texas. It is located 5 mi (8.0 km) north of present-day Bayside, on Copano Point. The port, which holds the distinction as the first in South Texas, was founded in the early 18th century by the Spanish, and named for the Copane Indians who resided in the area. Initially, it was used as a port by smugglers and pirates, until 1785, when it was officially opened for use by the Spanish empire. The port was abandoned in the 1880s, following the settlement of the area after the Texas Revolution. Ruins of the town site can still be found, but are currently in danger of falling into Copano Bay.

La ville était connue des espagnols et mexicains sous le nom d'El Cópano, baptisée en référence à la tribu amérindienne des Kopanes (Copanes), présente dans la région. Initialement, elle est utilisée comme port par des contrebandiers et des pirates, jusqu'en 1785, date à laquelle elle est officiellement ouverte à l'empire espagnol. Le port est abandonné dans les années 1880, après la colonisation de la région, à la suite de la révolution texane. De nos jours, le site se trouve à 8 km au nord de Bayside, au lieu-dit Copano Point. Les ruines du site de la ville peuvent encore être trouvées, mais sont actuellement en danger de chute dans la baie de Copano. Difficilement accessibles par la terre, elles peuvent être atteintes par bateau, à partir de Bayside. (fr) |
