Search Navasota Texas

Navasota is located southeast of College Station toward Hempstead on Hwys 6, 90 and 105 in Grimes County.

Hoping to reverse an earlier downward trend, in 1952 local businessmen began to organize the Navasota Industrial Foundation. The foundation, which later drew tax dollars for its support, worked with some success to attract new industries to the area. The town population stabilized, and by the mid-1970s Navasota had eighteen manufacturers producing mobile homes, furniture, cheese, steel tubing, and oilfield machinery.

The population grew from 4,937 in 1960 to 5,026 by 1970 and to 5,971 by 1980. In 1990 the census counted 6,296 people in Navasota.
