Corpus Christi is a coastal city located in Texas. The name means “body of Christ” in Latin. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 277,454. It is the county seat of Nueces County6.
The city is often referred to as “The Sparkling City by The Sea", particularly in literature promoting tourism.
Corpus Christi is home to the Days Inn where Tejano star Selena was shot to death. It is also where Marshall Applewhite, leader of the Heaven’s Gate cult, grew up. Other notable personages who have either grown up or resided in Corpus Christi include the actors Lou Diamond Phillips, Farrah Fawcett, Eva Longoria, and Dabney Coleman, musician Freddy Fender, and local newscaster & Guiness record holder Walter Furley.
The city is served by Corpus Christi International Airport, on the west side of the city.
Various sections of Corpus Christi maintain distinct senses of identity and community from the city proper, especially the Calallen and Flour Bluff areas, and, less often, Clarkwood and Annaville. These areas are sometimes mistakenly believed to be separate municipalities.
