Bryan College Station Welcome to Bryan-College Station and the Brazos Valley
home of The Museum at the George Bush Presidential Library, Historic Downtown
Bryan and Texas A&M University where tradition, warm hospitality and the spirit
of Aggieland are all at your fingertips.
In Aggieland, Howdy is more than
a greeting it's a genuine spirit that no one forgets. Bryan-College Station is
located in Brazos County in east central Texas.
The two cities are
nestled in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and Austin triangle and are easily
accessible from all parts of the state.
In fact the twin cities are
located within a 180-mile radius of 80% of the Texas population. Bryan was
established in 1859 in honor of William Joel Bryan, nephew of Texas Pioneer
Stephen F. Austin and has been the agricultural and commercial center of the
rich Brazos River Valley Farmlands since 1867, when the H&TC Railroad initiated
train service through the town.
Within a few years, Bryan was linked by
rail to major agricultural hospitality markets across the country. College
Station became a city in 1938, although it was born in 1871 with the
Agricultural and Mechanical College, Texas A&M.
