It is in Brazos County, off HWY 21 towards the Burleson County line (Towards Caldwell.) In the past 100 years most of the residents were Sicilian Immigrants, mine included. There was once a store, founded by Henry B. Steele, and a school which is now gone. This area is called the Brazos Bottom, as it lies between the Big Brazos and Little Brazos RIver. It is primarily a cotton farming area. There is good historical information in the Carnegie Library in Bryan on the area and it's settlers. Hope this helps.
