Sugar Land, Suburban city in Houston metropolitan area, United States.
Sugar Land is a city in Fort Bend County, Texas, built southwest of Houston with residential neighborhoods, green spaces and several shopping centers on formerly rural land. Individual districts connect through wide streets and sit between traffic junctions and sprawling subdivisions.
In 1908, Colonel E. H. Cunningham founded a sugar refinery on plantation land and built worker housing. Over the following decades the settlement grew into a Houston suburb after sugarcane production ended.
Residents from across Asia opened temples, restaurants and grocery stores offering specialties from their home countries. These influences appear at public events and in the layout of several neighborhoods where different languages can be heard.
Interstate 69 runs north into downtown Houston and shortens the drive from other parts of the region. Several parks offer paths for walking and jogging that remain accessible even during warm weather.
The Smart Financial Centre regularly welcomes known artists and bands performing in a hall with over 6400 seats. The venue draws visitors from across the metropolitan area who otherwise would need to drive downtown.
