Nueces County /njuËËeÉªsÉ¨s/ is a county located in the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2010 census, the population was 340,223. The county seat is Corpus Christi. The county was formed in 1846 from portions of San Patricio County and organized the following year. It is named for the Nueces River, which flows through the county. Nueces County is part of the Corpus Christi, TX Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Nueces Bay is 19,518 acres in size and is part of the Corpus Christi Bay system, which overall covers 124,700 acres along the central Texas coast. The Nueces River empties into Nueces Bay north of the City of Corpus Christi and forms the San Patricio and Nueces county line. Most of Nueces Bay is located in the San Antonio-Nueces coastal basin, but a small portion lies in the Nueces-Rio Grande coastal basin. Nueces Bay is shallow and poorly flushed (average depth: two- to three feet over broad mud flats and scattered oyster reefs), which is characteristic of most coastal bend estuaries. The Corpus Christi Bay system exchanges water with the Gulf of Mexico through Aransas Pass [1]. In 2004, the estimated population of the Corpus Christi, TX metropolitan statistical area (MSA) was over 390,000, of whom more than 281,000 live in Corpus Christi [2].
