Original grantee
The I&GN RR CO survey traces to the International-Great Northern Railroad system, formed from important post-Civil War Texas rail lines. Its predecessors and related companies earned large state land grants as Texas promoted rail construction with public acreage. A patent under this name is therefore an infrastructure record: the State of Texas rewarded completed mileage and rail expansion with surveyed land, and the railroad's name became the permanent abstract marker for later county records.
