Description
Part of the Imperial Sugar Company's huge sugar-refining complex, (as of 2014) the oldest extant business in Texas. It has operated continuously on the same site, making the same products-refined cane sugar and a byproduct, blackstrap molasses-since 1843, before Fort Bend County was established. Founded as a sugar plantation in the early mid-20th century and incorporated in 1959, Sugar Land is the largest city and economic center of Fort Bend County. It is one of the most affluent and fastest-growing cities in Texas (again as of 2014), having grown more than 158 percent in the past decade.
