Texas Brazos Trail

The Texas Brazos Trail is a non-profit organization which promotes heritage tourism, economic development, and historic preservation.

A largely rural area of the U.S. state of Texas, the 18-county Brazos Trail Region historically was dependent on cotton and the railroad for survival.

The region is named for the Brazos River which flows through the area and is still a vital water source.

The railroads connected the region to the Gulf of Mexico for shipment throughout the United States and Europe.

In frontier times many European groups settled in the area including: Norwegians, Germans, Scots, Czech, and the Wends.
