History gives the present its perspective, and the future its guide. Its importance is immense!
The Fort Bend County Historical Commission is charged with encouraging and assisting historical awareness and appreciation within the county. Additionally, it institutes and carries out a continuing survey of the county’s historical buildings, sites, cemeteries, archeological sites, both public and private, and other historical features within the county.

It reports to the Fort Bend County Commissioners Court and the Texas Historical Commission.
