September 1836 CE
Sam Houston had stayed on briefly for postwar negotiations, but he had returned to the United States for treatment of a wound to his ankle.
On August 30, 1836, brothers J. K. Allen and A. C. Allen had established the settlement of Houston, named in Houston’s honor; it serves as capital. (Gail Borden, Jr., the inventor, surveyor, publisher who is to become the U.S. inventor of condensed milk in 1856, helps lay out Houston's streets.)
On September 5, 1836, Houston is elected as the first president of the Republic of Texas; he will be inaugurated on October 22.
