List of Texas hurricanes (pre-1900)

The following is a list of known hurricanes that impacted Texas before the year 1900. Record-keeping prior to this period was significantly less comprehensive than in modern times, leading to incomplete information regarding intensity, landfall location, and overall damage for many storms. Therefore, this list may not be exhaustive. Further research is ongoing to refine and expand historical hurricane records for Texas.

The intensity of hurricanes is generally categorized using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale (SSHWS), although this scale was not in use historically. The intensity classifications provided here are estimates based on available historical data, such as storm surge, wind damage, and reported effects. Uncertainty remains regarding the precise intensity for many pre-1900 hurricanes.

Impacts and Notes |- | August 18, 1886 | Unnamed Hurricane | Category 2 (Estimated) | Made landfall near Galveston. Caused significant damage to coastal areas, with high winds and storm surge reported. Details are limited. |- | September 1875 |Unnamed Hurricane | Category 3 (Estimated) | One of the most destructive hurricanes to hit Texas before 1900. Caused widespread damage across a large area of the state. Detailed records are scarce, but substantial loss of life is suggested. |- | August 28, 1876 | Unnamed Hurricane | Category 1 (Estimated) | A relatively weaker hurricane compared to others on this list. Caused primarily localized flooding and wind damage in coastal regions. |- | August 1888 | Unnamed Hurricane | Category 2 (Estimated) | Caused major damage to coastal communities in Texas. Specifics on location of landfall and full extent of damage are not readily available. |- | September 8, 1878 | Unnamed Hurricane | Category 3 (Estimated) | The available details on this hurricane are limited; more research is needed to fully understand its impacts. |}

Further research into historical records, ship logs, and newspaper accounts is needed to improve the accuracy and completeness of this list. Many pre-1900 hurricanes lack precise intensity estimates and detailed impact information. This list will be updated as new information becomes available.
