History of Grimes County
In the historic period, French and Spanish explorers encountered the Bidai Indians, who were mentioned in Spanish records from 1691. Like other tribes, they suffered high fatalities from new infectious diseases caught from the Spanish and joined with the remnants of other Native American people later in the historic period. The area had very little settlement by Europeans or creole Spanish during the century of Spanish colonial rule, but after Mexico gained its independence, it invited settlers from the United States to come to eastern Texas. They were allowed to practice their own religion, as long as they swore loyalty to the Mexican government. A few historic buildings in Anderson, such as the Fanthorp Inn, date from this period, as well as some from the Republic of Texas and the early statehood years.
