Old Brulay Plantation
Old Brulay Plantation, Historical plantation site in Brownsville, Texas, United States.
Located east of Brownsville off TX 4, Old Brulay Plantation features a historic mansion with traditional architectural elements from the 1870s period.
George Paul Brulay established the 400-acre plantation in 1870 after immigrating from France, transforming it from cotton production to sugar cultivation with a mill by 1876.
The property represents the agricultural development of South Texas, demonstrating the transition of ownership from French settlers to Japanese immigrants and later the Nye family.
Visitors interested in exploring the National Register of Historic Places site should arrange access in advance due to the private nature of the property.
The plantation operated without enslaved workers as it was established after the Civil War and continued operations until Cuban sugar tariff changes in 1910.
