The Freeport vicinity is rich in history.   It was a hunting and fishing area for the Karankawa Indians.  Later, Brazoria County was the base for Stephen F. Austin in colonizing Texas.  Prior to the Civil War, it was the site of major plantations that made use of the Brazos River for importing supplies and exporting agricultural products.  Most were abandoned after the war.

The Freeport Bay Area Civic Club invites former students, family and friends to participate in a celebration recognizing two well-known citizens: Emanuel and Mazie Mack. 

Freeport has long been known for the many popular water attractions that we have to offer. Linked to the Gulf of Mexico, the Old Brazos River flows through the center of the City, ending at the beautiful municipal park. The City of Freeport has a wide variety of churches, and housing to fit every need. We have many quaint shops offering collectibles and antiques.
