TEXAS HISTORICAL MARKERS

Brazoria County Historical Markers

NUMBER OF MARKER IN COUNTY - 142
Have - 126 Need- 16
        Named for the Brazos River. County seat is Angleton. 
​        We have only briefly visited Brazoria County on our way home from Houston. Pearland, Alvin and some of West Columbia is all we have covered thus far, a mere 14 percent of the county's total number of markers. I look forward to this one because it is a coastal county and I love the ocean. There are a lot of old markers in this county and that always poses challenges, so we will see.

15th October, 2022- We made a couple of overnight trips in order to capture as many of the markers as we were able. Brazoria County is an old County with much eary Texas history so there are several marker on private property which we have yet to add to this counties set. I did enjoy this trip as it was a much needed break from work. To me it feels like being in the country but it is very close to Houston so a lot people commute from here. We did try a new restaurant,  The Wayside which is a take on a British Pub, I really loved the atmosphere and the cocktails were excellent. My fish and chips was very good but the Guinness stew for Steve fell  a bit flat. Given all that I would go again. 
  I have written to the Brazoria County Historical Commission because I hope we will revisit and capture all the hard markers.
