Pearland had its humble beginnings on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway in 1882. The community was originally named Mark Belt. On September 24, 1894, the plat of “Pear Land” was filed with the Brazoria County courthouse by Witold von Zychlinski. Many of the residents of Pearland harvested their own fruits. Zychlinski saw the pear trees and decided that “Pearland” would be the perfect name for this up and coming area.
Back in the 1800’s, Pearland only consisted of a prairie. Residents harvested fruit and vegetables such as cantaloupes, corn, figs, pears, and watermelons. As time went on Pearland opened many dance halls that entertained people from Hastings and Manvel Oil Fields.
Present day, Pearland is an up and coming community located just outside the skirts of Houston, TX. With the “Big City” just 18 miles away, Pearland is the perfect spot for families near and far. The city is home to many Master Planned Communities, such as Shadow Creek Ranch and Silverlake.
