Fulshear TX History

Fulshear grew out of Churchill Fulshear's plantation. A member of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred, Churchill was given a land grant in 1984.

The small agricultural community prospered further thanks to the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway. In 1890, the town was platted and had a post office.

Incorporated as a city in 1977, Fulshear remained mostly rural (with cotton farms and cattle and horse ranches) up until the 2000s. The extension of Westpark Tollway and the development of Cross Creek Ranch sparked growth in Fulshear.

Today, Fulshear is still growing. Master-planned communities like Cross Creek Ranch and Jordan Ranch offer new construction homes in the area.
