When the Velasco Terminal Railway laid down tracks and built a depot in the heart of Brazoria County in 1890, a small settlement grew around the depot. In those days, it was traditional to name towns after railroad agents or prominent employees of a railroad company. A different town had already used the general manager’s name (which is unknown), and so the residents opted to name the town after his wife. Thus Angleton was born.

A few short years later, the county had to choose its county seat, at which the administrators would handle the local government and judicial matters. The choices were narrowed down to Angleton and a nearby town, Brazoria. A heated feud developed, and it was so contentious that Angleton’s citizens had to move county records and paperwork nightly for fear that Brazoria would steal or destroy them. Ultimately Angleton was chosen, and they officially became the county seat in 1896.

Today, Angleton is home to Texas’ largest county fair, which is hosted annually in Octobers. The town has maintained a friendly rivalry with Brazoria over the years, though these days it’s all in good fun. It’s the sort of place where everyone knows everyone. A warm, welcoming town, Angleton will make a great place to rent a motorhome.

The Great Outdoors

With the abundance of wilderness parks in this corner of Texas, a travel trailer rental from Angleton makes it so easy to explore the open space. The Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge (NWF) is only a few miles from Angleton, and it’s a virtual jackpot for photographers, birders, and nature lovers. Several miles of coastline and marshlands is home to hundreds of different species of birds. Between the salt and freshwater marshes, ponds, sloughs, coastal prairies, and bottomland forests, it’s no wonder that the avian species are so diverse. Roseate spoonbills, which were once endangered, can be spotted in this park. There are several miles of trails and boardwalks cutting through and over parts of the park. Heads up: because alligators are common, hikers should not stray off trail.

Sister parks, Justin Hurst Wildlife Management Area and San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge, are just a few miles to the west. Similarly to Brazoria NWF, both parks virtually teem with wildlife, both avian and aquatic. Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles are known to nest (lay eggs) in San Bernard NWF, and the dunes are home to several exotic birds like great blue herons, roseate spoonbills, wood storks, reddish egrets, and black skimmers. There are several miles of maintained trails and boardwalks, many of which have interpretative signs. Bank-side and small-craft fishing are permitted at Cedar Lakes, which is a shallow, marshy area just barely past the first row of beach dunes. There are several crabbing prohibitions in both parks; check with the management beforehand. Although camping is not allowed at these parks, as to preserve the wilderness for the future, there are several private campgrounds within spitting distance that can accommodate an Angleton RV rental.

Exploring the City

It’s a strange idea, but people do on occasion get tired of going to the beach or hiking. Fortunately, there’s plenty of places to do in the area, and an Angleton RV rental makes it easy to get around the town. The Brazoria County Historical Museum is housed in the same building as its county court, which was built in the late 1800s. The museum has several thousand artifacts, photographs, and documents that give a glimpse into the county’s past, including genuine Old West cowboy gear, maps, and pioneer clothes.

Lake Jackson’s Sea Center is home to thousands of native sea life. Different aquariums, ranging from 1,000 to 50,000 gallons of saltwater, are set up to create different habitats suited for a range of aquatic life. The largest, Offshore Gulf of Mexico Aquarium, has species like bonnethead sharks, green moray eels, and tarpons. The Center also has a touch tank at which visitors can touch marine animals like crabs, anemones, and snails.

Texans are notorious for being opinionated about the proper way to barbecue meat, and which kind of seasoning to use. Even out in the boonies, locals and visitors alike debate over who has the best BBQ recipes. Try out a few options and form your own opinion! Brian’s BBQ in Clute is a local mainstay. Brian’s got its start as a roadside stand back in the 80s, and as Brian honed his craft and whetted his customers’ appetites, he was able to upgrade to a bona fide restaurant. The Lone Star BBQ is another local favorite. A hole-in-the-wall type restaurant, the deceptively simple restaurant is well known for dishing up delicious fare.
