Description
Going west out of Houston travelers will find the community of Brookshire anchoring southern Waller County to Interstate 10, a major artery of travel and commerce. Four miles northwest of Brookshire on FM 359 lies the City of Pattison. The cities are 20 and 24 miles, respectively, from the county seat in Hempstead. Southern Waller County adjoins Austin County to the west, Fort Bend County to the south, and Harris County to the east.
Poised as the next frontier on Houston’s path of steady growth, Brookshire and Pattison nevertheless remain small town America – anchored in family values and committed to community, church, and education.
Both cities are located in the lower coastal plain of the agriculturally rich watershed of the Brazos River. The area is part woodland, part prairie, and receives its economic support largely from farming, ranching, and transportation dependent industries. Both towns have been impacted by Houston’s urban sprawl and serve as bedroom communities for the metroplex.
