Durazno Plantation, Historic plantation in Jones Creek, Brazoria County, US

Durazno Plantation is a 500-acre historic plantation near Jones Creek in Brazoria County, Texas, created in 1840 from land taken from Peach Point Plantation. Enslaved people there grew cotton and raised cattle.

In 1840, 500 acres were taken from Peach Point Plantation to create Durazno Plantation, given to William Joel Bryan (1815–1903) as a dowry when he married Lavinia Perry. The people he enslaved grew cotton and raised cattle. After his death, his son Samuel Irwin Bryan inherited it and left half to his daughter Louella Bryan Brutrus and half to his nephew Samuel Irwin Stratton. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 2, 1980.

The name "Durazno" is Spanish for "peach", and the land was carved out of the neighbouring Peach Point Plantation in 1840, so the Spanish word and the English place name beside it both refer to the same fruit. The plantation was given to William Joel Bryan as a dowry when he married Lavinia Perry that year.

The plantation lies near Jones Creek in Brazoria County, Texas, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 2, 1980. The sources describe no visitor facilities, opening hours or guided tours, so check locally before planning a stop.

After William Joel Bryan died, his son Samuel Irwin Bryan split Durazno between his daughter Louella Bryan Brutrus and his nephew Samuel Irwin Stratton, so each heir received half. The plantation was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 2, 1980.
