Burton is located in Washington County, on US 290 just west of Brenham. It was originally established in 1862 and named for John M. Burton, an early settler in the area. The population was an estimated 368 in 1987, and 311 in 1990, when Burton had a post office, an independent school district, a bank, and a number of small businesses. In the early 1980s economist Douglas Hutchinson of Burton, Ohio, acquired a Victorian house in Burton and renovated an old cotton gin there as a center for information on cotton ginning.
