Brazos County, Administrative division in Texas, United States.
Brazos County is an administrative division in central Texas that covers urban areas like Bryan and College Station alongside farmland and rural communities. The Brazos River runs through the region and shapes much of its natural geography.
The county was first established as Navasota County in 1841, then renamed Brazos County a year later after the river. Growth accelerated after Texas A&M University was founded in the 1870s, which became a major economic and educational anchor.
The Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History preserves regional artifacts, geological specimens, and cultural collections that document the area's development through time.
The Brazos Transit District operates bus routes connecting Bryan and College Station to local destinations and services. The region requires planning when traveling between the more developed urban centers and outlying rural areas.
Easterwood Airport is operated by Texas A&M University and provides direct flights to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. This university-run facility offers convenient air access that most comparable-sized communities lack.
