Brazoria County, Texas 77581 281-648-1526

Community Information

Pearland - located in historic Brazoria County - is one of the fastest growing cities in Texas, positioned on a growth curve that extends well into the 21st century, fueled by an enviable location. However, Pearland's history goes far beyond the initial founding date. Native Indian inhabitants hosted their first European visitors in 1528. Such famous names as Cabeza de Vaca, La Salle, and Stephen F. Austin leap out from this tumultuous chapter in Texas' colorful history that traces the area's development to present-day Pearland.

Pearland's location is one of its greatest assets. Located approximately 20 minutes from downtown Houston and less than 15 minutes from the Texas Medical Center, Pearland offers the lifestyle of a small town but still provides easy access to the Theater district, and Houston's many fine restaurants. Pearland is 15 minutes from NASA's Johnson Space Center, providing a highly educated workforce. Beltway 8, Houston's second loop, runs along Pearland's northern boundary. In addition, Pearland is located off State Highway 288, which is surrounded by some of the most undeveloped land around Houston. This results in less highway traffic than is normally faced on any other Houston highway. For air travel, Houston's Hobby Airport is less than 10 minutes from Pearland's northern city limits on State Highway 35.
