Angleton, County seat in Brazoria County, Texas.
Angleton stands at the convergence of State Highway 288, State Highway 35, and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks in southeast Texas.
The settlement emerged in 1890 when the Velasco Terminal Railway established operations, receiving its name from the railway manager's wife.
The Brazoria County Fair, held each October, brings together residents for livestock exhibitions, rodeos, parades, and agricultural displays.
The Angleton Independent School District maintains multiple elementary schools, one junior high school, and Angleton High School for local education.
The Stephen F. Austin statue at the county courthouse complex represents the connection between Angleton and early Texas colonization.
