Hawdon, Texas

Hawdon was a town and rail station in Fort Bend County, Texas, United States, alternately known as Howden, Hawdon Junction, and Arcola.

[1] It was located just north of Juliff, and south of Arcola.

[3][4][1] A rail switch was located at Hawdon to connect the Sugar Land Railroad near the (still extant) Palestine Missionary Baptist Church[5] to House Junction.

[1] Passenger service ended in 1920, but the rail line through town lasted until the 1980s.

A church cemetery served the community at one time, but it has not been located.
