Explore Sugar Land, Texas, in an RVshare RV Rental

Stephen F. Austin gave the land where Sugar Land is currently located to Samuel M. Williams in 1828 for his faithful service as a deed writer and record keeper. Williams' father operated a sugar plantation on Oyster Creek in Fort Bend County, which eventually became the mperial Sugar Company. In 1838, Nathaniel F. Williams purchased the land near present-day Sugar Land from his brother and started Oakland Plantation. He built the area's first raw-sugar mill in 1843, which he operated with a third brother. After the brothers died, the land was not cared for properly, and the community did not survive. By 1858, the brothers had changed the farm's name from Oakland Plantation to Sugarland Plantation. 

In 1886, E.H. Cunningham purchased the property and others around it to amass over 12,000 acres. He also built a sugar refinery, a new raw-sugar mill, a paper mill, and the 14-mile Sugar Land Railroad. By 1908, Isaac H. Kempner and William T. Eldridge had purchased the land, making it a town for the Imperial Sugar Company. Poor land conditions and other problems caused the last sugar crop to be grown in 1928, even though Imperial Sugar had invested a lot of money into improving the land. The community's residents had to move elsewhere to seek a living during the Great Depression. 

Imperial Sugar and Sugarland Properties, owned by Isaac H. Kempner, became the sole owner of property in the town. Once Kemper discovered that he had cancer, he created a plan to transition Sugar Land from a company town to his heirs. Part of the plan included selling houses to have enough property owners so that the city could be incorporated instead of being annexed into Houston, and they accomplished this goal in 1959. The 1,200-acre Sugar Creek subdivision became the first master-planned subdivision in 1969. Go on the monthly walking tour of the original company town, starting at the Sugar Land Heritage Museum. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday and contains many historical artifacts. 

Regardless of your interests, you can find plenty to do in this community of 118,000 people. History lovers will want to explore natural history at the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land, which is on the site where the state locked up convicted felons and allowed them to work on the plantation after slavery ended. If you have children along, be sure to stop and play at the Children's Discovery Center. You may also want to take in a show at the Smart Financial Centre after enjoying a meal at one of the nearby restaurants, like Another Broken Egg Cafe, Japaneiro's, or Churrascos SteakHouse Sugar Land.
