About Missouri City
Missouri City is a city located in the U.S. state of Texas, within the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land metropolitan area. It was originally part of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred, a group of settlers who received land grants in the early 1820s. The city was officially incorporated in 1956 and has since grown into a thriving community with a population of over 75,000.
One interesting aspect of Missouri City's history is its connection to the railroad industry. In the early 1900s, the city was a major transportation hub for the sugar industry. The Imperial Sugar Company, one of the largest sugar refineries in the country, had a rail line that connected its refinery to the main railroad line. This rail line was used to transport sugar cane from the surrounding plantations to the refinery, as well as to transport the finished sugar products to other parts of the country. Although the rail line is no longer in use today, the city's history as a transportation hub is still evident in its infrastructure and layout.
