Galveston Island was charted as early as 1526 at Seville, the Casa de Contratacion controlling the trade of the colonies: This tribunal, whilst it permitted colonization, insisted on all trade being carried on with the mother country (spain) only; that all merchandise had to be carried in Spanish vessels, and that the colonies should not antagonize the mother country's trade in either oil or wine.
