When was Corpus Christi founded and named?

Corpus Christi is a coastal city in the South Texas region of the U.S. State of Texas and the county seat of Nueces County. It also extends into Aransas, Kleberg, and San Patricio counties. The MSA population in 2008 was 416,376.

The population was 277,454 at the 2000 census; in 2006 the US Census Bureau estimated the city's population at 285,175, making it the eighth-largest city in the state. Corpus Christi was founded in 1839 by Colonel Henry Lawrence Kinney as Kinney's Trading Post, or Kinney's Ranch, a small trading post to sell supplies to a Mexican revolutionary army camped about 25 miles (40 km) west. In July 1845, U.S. Troops under General Zachary Taylor set up camp there in preparation for war with Mexico, where they remained until March 1846.

Then about a year later the city was named Corpus Christi and was incorporated on September 9, 1852. The Port of Corpus Christi was opened in 1926 and the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station was commissioned in 1941. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_Christi,_Texas.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
