The Battle of Velasco began on June 26, 1832, when Texian settlers sought to prevent the Mexican garrison at Velasco from transporting a cannon to the Mexican government. Tensions escalated when a confrontation broke out between Texian revolutionaries and Mexican troops commanded by Colonel Domingo de Ugartechea. The conflict was sparked by the Texians' demand for the cannon, leading to an armed clash that marked an early conflict in the Texas Revolution. The battle ultimately ended with the Mexican forces surrendering after a day of fighting.
