HISTORY OF BRAZOS COUNTY
This gently rolling landscape of prairies and woods was for cen-
- - turies the hunting grounds of semi-nomadic Indians. Spanish explor-
.. . ers traveled over El Camino Real or The King's Highway, now called
0, S.R., as early as the seventeenth century. This old San Antonio
Road was the direct route between the East Texas missions and
Mexico and is now the N.W. boundary of Brazos County.
In 1821 Stephen F. Austin signed a contract with the Mexican
government to establish a colony in Texas and entered with 300
families. Only one, the Millicans, settled in this area, near the con-
fluence of the Brazos and Navasota Rivers. In the next twenty years
the population increased rapidly, and in 1841 Brazos County was es-
tablished by the Texas Legislature. Boonville was chosen as the loca-

in, was built.
Horses, oxcarts, stagecoaches and an occasional steamboat on
the Brazos River were the modes of transportation until the Hous-
ton and Texas Central Railroad reached Millican in 1860.
Many small self-sufficient farm communities developed near
water sources, each with its own store, mill, church and schooL The
introduction of farm machinery and the automobil~ meant a decline
for many of them; often only the cemetery remains. Cotton, cattle
and the railroad, as well as the founding of the Agricultural & Me-
chanical College of Texas brought great prosperity to Bryan.

etery and a church. Drive past the United Zion church built in 1940.,

20 FORT TENOXTiTLAN. 'Site .of a log fortification built in
1830 near the O.S.R. crossing of the Brazos river in Burleson
County, constructed by order of the Mexican government to pre-

diers under command of Lt. CoL F. Ruiz were called back to San
Antonio 'after a year and Ruiz joined the settlers in the area, be-
coming a signer of the Declaration of Texas Independence, in 1836.
The fort then housed newly arrived pioneers and served a few
years as protection against Indian attacks. Several small commun-
ities developed in the Brazos River valley cotton producing area
such as: Steele Store, Smetana, Stone City and Rye; some still exist
today. See reverse side of map for the history of Bryan and:
