Explore Brookshire, Texas, in an RVshare RV Rental

Brookshire was originally called Kellner after John G. and Amalie Kellner, who purchased more than 1,800 acres between Katy, Texas, and the Brazos River in 1891. Mr. Kellner gave land for the railroad to run through his property in 1892 and laid out the town in 1892 and 1893. Settlers changed the community's name to honor Captain Nathan Brookshire, one of Stephen Austin's Band of 300. 

At the turn of the century, about 10,000 bales of cotton were shipped annually on the railroad, but the demand fell off and prices dropped. Then, rice became the most important agricultural crop. Peanut production was a large economic factor in the city's early days. Even though many who saw the original land called it unsuitable for grazing, many ranchers also grazed large herds.
