Welcome to Bryan, Texas.

Like many Texas communities in the mid - and late - 19th century, Bryan began as a small-town stop along the state’s expanding railway system. But almost from the beginning, Bryan was different: It quickly distinguished itself from the many other railway stops across the state by flourishing into a vibrant–and permanent–center of business and trade.

In the nearly 140 years since Bryan’s founding, many Texas railroad stops became nothing more than ghost towns. But the optimistic spirit and determination that built Bryan in its early years continues to define Bryan today. It is a community that successfully couples dynamic growth with historic importance.

Bryan has greeted the 21st century with a vital and robust economy, quality schools, state-of-the-art health care, safe neighborhoods and a history that is reflected in the buildings and pride of its residents. The original square-mile town site now encompasses more than 43.4 square miles. And Bryan’s original population of a few hundred has grown to almost 67,000 residents.

From its contemporary Tejas Center to its revived historic downtown, today’s Bryan is defined by renewed growth, development and renovation.
