	Handbook of Texas Online:
		The Red River is in the Mississippi drainage basin and is one of two Red Rivers in the nation.
		In the 1700s the river was generally regarded as the dividing line between France and Spain, and a royal cedula in 1805 proclaimed the river the northern and eastern boundary of the Spanish province of Texas.
		Many settlers along the river raised cotton in the rich flland of Northeast Texas, despite its tendency to overflow, and the Red River County area was sufficiently settled to send delegates to the Convention of 1836.
