Stafford Overview

Snugly situated within the confines of Fort Bend County, in the greater Houston area, Stafford is a tight-knit community well known for its smalltown charm and effortlessly welcoming ambiance.

What is the history of Stafford?

With a tumultuous history dating back to the 1800s, the city of Stafford had humble beginning as a plantation area, complete with cane mill and cotton gin. The Colorado Railway began stopping in 1853, and by 1884 the city boasted a number of grocery stores, a post office, and other necessities. Stafford did not officially incorporate until 1956 when it reached a budding population of just around 400. Today, this bedrock community has close to 18,000 residents calling it home.

Stafford itself is an easy city to traverse, with smooth flowing traffic on most days. Those commuting to the job market of Houston proper can expect 9 to 5 delays, thanks in no small part to the consistent construction of area roadways, including Interstate 610 and Route 40. The Southwest Freeway offers the easiest in and out of the city, although more rural roadways such as U.S. 90 are also an option.

What are the local media outlets?

While most residents depend upon the 'Houston Chronicle' for much of their news needs, the 'Fort Bend Star' offers more of a local slant on the day to day. Radio is diverse and plentiful, with offerings such as top 40, classic rock, political talk and more found with ease. Broadcast is covered by the usual affiliates, with national powerhouses such as NBC, CNN and FOX all beamed into Stafford area homes on a nightly basis.
