An empresario (Spanish pronunciation: [em.pre.'sar.jo]) was a person who entered into a contract with the Spanish or Mexican government during the early nineteenth in order to settle on sizeable grants of land in exchange for recruiting families and settling land in areas of then Coahuila y Tejas. (The word empresario is in current use in Spanish, meaning "businessman" or "entrepreneur".)
