Kendleton is at the intersection of US 59 and Farm Road 2919, fourteen miles southwest of Rosenberg in Fort Bend County and is part of the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. Once the site of a plantation belonging to William E. Kendall, the community that resulted became known as Kendleton. In 1882 the New York, Texas and Mexican Railway Company laid track between Rosenberg and Victoria, passing through Kendleton. The population of Kendleton was only thirty-six in 1933 but rose again to 100 by the late 1940s. It fluctuated between 150 and 200 in the 1960s and early 1970s but, after voters chose to incorporate Kendleton in 1973, rose to more than 600. In 1990 Kendleton reported 496 residents. Locals estimate that there were around 2,200 people in the town and the surrounding area.
