Toyal

The Toyal were an Indigenous group known from the account of François Simars de Bellisle, a Frenchman held by the Caux near Galveston Bay in the early eighteenth century. He described an encounter west or northwest of the bay in which his captors killed a Toyal man. The Toyal have been linked by some writers with the Tohaha, another group reported in the broader region, though their relationship is uncertain.

The later city of Houston lies here.
