Historical markers have been a part of the Texas
landscape since 1936, when the Texas Centennial
Commission placed more than 900 markers and monuments
around the state to commemorate the 100th anniversary of
the Texas Revolution and the establishment of the
Republic of Texas. The current Official Texas Historical
Marker program dates to 1962, and it has been a popular
means for interpreting local and state history and
encouraging heritage tourism for almost four decades.
Probably the most visible program of the Texas Historical
Commission (THC), historical markers commemorate diverse
topics — from the history and architecture of
houses, commercial and public buildings, religious
congregations and events that changed the course of local
and state history, to individuals who have made lasting
contributions to our state, community organizations and
businesses, military sites, and many more.
Age, significance and architectural requirements govern
the eligibility of topics and sites when applying for
either a subject marker or a Recorded Texas Historic
Landmark marker. A full explanation of the requirements
for all types of markers and of the application process
is included in the historical marker guidelines. Please
read the guidelines carefully before filling out a marker
application. Available sizes,and styles of historical
markers are listed in the guidelines, prices are listed
on the application.
Original files of Texas historical marker applications
are housed at the THC Library, and inscriptions and
location information for individual markers can be
accessed through the Texas Historic Sites Atlas.
