Welcome to Bryan- College Station and the Brazos Valley, a
flourishing community located in the heart of east central Texas.
Bryan-College Station, also known as "Aggieland", is home to
Texas A&M University, the George Bush Presidential Library and
Museum, the Northgate Entertainment District, Historic
Downtown Bryan and the Messina Hof Winery and Resort. Here,
tradition, Texas hospitality and the spirit of Aggieland are a way
of life. Bryan-College Station is centrally located between
Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and Austin. In fact, the two cities are
located within a 180-mile radius of over 80% of Texas' population.
Bryan was established in 1859 in honor of William Joel Bryan,
nephew of Texas pioneer Stephen F. Austin. Bryan has been the
agricultural and commercial center of the rich Brazos River Valley
farmlands since 1867, when the H&TC Railroad initiated train
service through the town. Within a few years, Bryan was linked by
rail to major agricultural markets across the country.
College Station became a city in 1938, although it was “born”
in 1876 with the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas,
which became known as Texas A&M. College Station, named as a
railway stop by the Postal Service in 1877, flourished in the 1960’s
when the college opened its doors to women and became Texas
A&M University. From its humble beginning with fewer than 50
students, Texas A&M has grown to become one of the nation’s
largest universities, with a student body totaling about 49,000
and with internationally acclaimed research programs. Its 1,800-
member Corps of Cadets is the nation’s largest uniformed
student organization other than at the service academies.
Today, Bryan and College Station form a delightful
community to live in and to visit. Aggieland is a destination with
a unique blend of cultural opportunities and warm
hospitality.
In Aggieland, “HOWDY” is more than a greeting -It’s a genuine spirit that no one forgets.
