Retry Correct Incorrect Although Sam Houston was the first president of the Republic of Texas and Joseph Dallas was credited for settling the area named after him, Stephen F. Austin is considered the state’s true “Father.” That’s because the 300 American families who would end up forming the foundation for an independent Texas were brought there through his efforts.
