Kendleton is a city in western Fort Bend County, Texas, United States, located southwest of Sugar Land.

In the 1860s Kendall divided his property into various small farms and sold the plots to African Americans who were former slaves.

In 1882, the New York, Texas and Mexican Railway Company established a railroad track between Rosenberg and Victoria, which passed through Kendleton.

[5] Its western boundary is the San Bernard River, the Fort Bend/Wharton County line.

Farm to Market Road 2919 runs north from Kendleton to East Bernard.

Cindy Horswell and Megan Ryan of the Houston Chronicle said that Humphrey "feels like his community will be erased from society if the post office is removed, too.

[20] On March 25, 2010, Texas Education Agency (TEA) Commissioner Robert Scott announced that he was closing the Kendleton Independent School District.

Kendleton ISD will be merged with Lamar Consolidated Independent School District.

The Texas Education Agency pledges to work with the citizens of Kendleton and Lamar Consolidated to make this transition as smooth as possible."

LCISD, for a two-year period, was to operate its head start program at Powell Point.

[21] In July 2011 mayor Darryl Humphrey said that his community was still recovering from the closing of Powell Point Elementary.

[25] Bay Ridge Christian College was located north of Kendleton in an unincorporated section of Fort Bend County.

[26] Fort Bend County owns and operates the Bates M. Allen Park, located just outside the city limits of Kendleton.

The 235-acre (0.95 km2) park includes a canoe ramp, a fishing pier, grills, a historical site, a lake, an observation deck, two pavilions, a play area, a sand volleyball court, tables, toilet facilities, walking trails and wetlands.

[27] In 2023 the county stated it would add a memorial to African-American settlements, which would mean much of the park would be revamped.
