Celebrating 200 Years of Victoria Texas

The City of Victoria has big plans to share the history of our community having given community members an opportunity to share their memories earlier this year. Soon, you'll be able to learn all about our community's personal stories and connections to our great city!

The City will display residents’ memorabilia at City Hall throughout the bicentennial year. Each display will be centered on a theme:

January-February: Our Multicultural Heritage
March-April: Happy Anniversary!
May-June: Legendary Victoria Sports
July-August: Festivals, Food & Fun
September-October: Back to School
November-December: The Holidays in Victoria

Don't forget to check out the CIVIC ALERT for more information as events move ahead in 2025!

The Convention & Visitors Bureau also partnered with the City of Victoria Communications & Public Affairs to film “Victoria Stories,” a series of oral histories about Victoria. The series will feature interviews with residents sharing their experiences and memories of life in Victoria.

Do you remember the Victoria coin? There is actually money floating around from long ago that featured Victoria on an actual coin!

And, right now you can buy a Bicentennial Coin to commemorate our bicentennial when you visit the Victoria Preservation, Inc either online or in person.

“Next year will be about celebrating Victoria’s past, present and future, and we’re excited to see the memories that residents will share as we reflect on what makes our community unique,” said Convention & Visitors Bureau Director Joel Novosad.
