It was named by Spanish explorers after the Spanish word for "nuts" because of the numerous pecan trees along its banks. The river has been used for irrigation and agriculture since the mid-1800s, and several reservoirs and dams have been constructed along its length to regulate its flow, including Choke Canyon Reservoir and Lake Corpus Christi. The river is also a popular recreational area for activities such as fishing, canoeing, and camping. The Nueces River has been an important cultural and historical landmark for the Native American populations and the Spanish explorers.
