La Gaceta Mexicana was a Spanish-language newspaper published in Houston, Texas. It was one of the earliest Mexican-American newspapers in Houston.[1]
José Sarabia first published the newspaper in 1928.[2] A member of the Sarabia family died during the Mexican Revolution since a bandit had killed him. In order to make money in the man's absence, the family established a Mexican grocery store and established the newspaper.[3] The newspaper closed during the first several years of the Great Depression because advertisers canceled their advertisements.[2]
Mary Sarabia, a member of the same family, married Raul Molina, who headed the restaurant chain Molina's.[3]
