Rosa María Hinojosa de Ballí

Rosa María Hinojosa de Ballí (c. 1752–1803) was a rancher known as the first "cattle queen" of Texas. She was born in New Spain, in what is now as Tamaulipas.

Rosa endowed churches, including the first chapel in Matamoros.

When she died she owned more than one million acres of land in what is now the Rio Grande Valley.

Her son Padre Ballí was an original grantee of Padre Island, which was named after him. Rosa had made a joint application with Padre for eleven leagues of the island, but when reapplication was required in 1800, she withdrew her name in favor of him.
