It is located in Washington County and was founded in 1847. It is located inside Stephen F. Austin's original colony. He is known as the "Father of Texas" and played a significant role in the colonization of Texas by bringing the first group of American settlers to the region in 1821. He was appointed by the Mexican government as an empresario, or land agent, to bring 300 families to settle in Texas.

They brought with them their language, culture, and traditions. They established their own communities, built churches, and established schools that taught in the German language. They also introduced new crops to the area, such as grapes and peaches, which helped to diversify the local agriculture. One of the most notable German settlements in Washington County was the town of Brenham, which was founded by German immigrants in the 1850s. Brenham became an important center of commerce and agriculture, and the town still retains much of its German heritage.
