Latin for ldquo;Body of Christ;rdquo; Corpus Christi is a popular vacation destination; military town; and thriving seaport. Legend has it that Spanish explorer Alonso Aacute;lvarez de Pineda discovered and named Corpus Christi Bay in 1519. Henry L. Kinney; a trader who arrived in the area around 1838; is credited with starting the trading post that eventually grew into one of Texasrsquo;s largest cities and became home to one of the nationrsquo;s busiest ports. This ldquo;Sparkling City by the Seardquo; balances growth and industry with an appreciation for the air; water; and wildlife that attract both sportsmen and environmentalists. Corpus Christi is a bilingual; bicultural community that embraces both its Mexican and American roots.
