Waller County, Texas

Waller County is just northwest of Houston. It’s where the coastal prairie meets the piney woods. A place of transition. Of change.
Hempstead, the county seat, is known as the Watermelon Capital of Texas. Bet that makes you curious! This county has deep agricultural roots. But it’s growing. Changing. The suburban sprawl of Houston is creeping in.
Prairie View A&M University calls this county home. It brings youth, energy, and diversity. The Brazos River forms the western boundary. Waller County is a place in flux. Old Texas meeting the new. It’s an interesting time to be here.
