Texas declared its independence from Mexico 186 years ago today. This image is a copy of the declaration printed shortly after 59 delegates approved the hand-written original at Washington-on-the-Brazos on March 2, 1836.#TexasIndependenceDay pic.twitter.com/yzbIkI2SBv

The marker was created in 1840 and placed in 1841 to mark the international border between the United States and the Republic of Texas. The boundary marker is the only marker remaining from the Texas border survey and is one of only two known international boundary markers located entirely within the United States.
