Fulshear

A small agricultural community when it was established in the 1800s, Fulshear was named after Churchill Fulshear, one of Stephen Austin’s Old Three Hundred. Incorporated in 1977, Fulshear saw its population steadily increase (especially during the 2000s), due to the city’s close proximity to Houston.

Fulshear is characterized by its many scenic open spaces. The area is defined by grassy meadows, gently sloping pastures with towering hardwood trees, and tranquil river vistas along the Brazos River. The city offers the slow pace of a relaxed, country lifestyle all while being minutes away from shopping areas, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
