The three counties of the larger Victoria Metro Area have a population of 111,163 (U.S. 2020 Census). It is in a great location, 30 miles inland from the ocean, which reduces the risk of hurricane damage and storm surges.

The city got its name from the first president of independent Mexico, General Guadalupe Victoria. The city was founded in 1824.

In contemporary times, the city is known as a regional trade center because of its strategic location and proximity to the Gulf ports. The University of Houston established a campus in Victoria in 1971, which brings many college students to the town.
