Fort Bend County, Texas

Fort Bend County is just southwest of Houston. It’s one of the fastest-growing counties in the state. U.S. Sugar Land, its largest city, used to be a company town for Imperial Sugar. Now it’s a booming suburb.
The county’s incredibly diverse. They say it’s the most ethnically diverse county in Texas. The Brazos River winds its way through, shaping the landscape. George Ranch Historical Park offers a glimpse into the county’s ranching past. It’s pretty cool.
Fort Bend was one of the original Texas counties, created when Texas was still its own country. These days, it’s a mix of suburban sprawl and rural charm. You can find world-class restaurants and working farms within a few miles of each other. It’s a place of contrasts.
