Gibbons Creek Reservoir

Gibbons Creek Reservoir (sometimes referred to as Gibbons Creek Lake) is a power plant cooling reservoir on Gibbons Creek in the Navasota River basin, 20 miles (32 km) east of College Station, Texas, United States. The dam and lake are managed by Texas Municipal Power Agency (TMPA), which uses the reservoir as a cooling pond for a coal-fired power plant generating electricity for the cities of Bryan, Denton, Garland, and Greenville (all of whom have municipality-owned electric companies). The reservoir was officially impounded in 1981. Gibbons Creek Reservoir is a popular recreational destination due to its location near the Bryan–College Station metropolitan area. The nearby power plant was mothballed indefinitely by TMPA in January 2019 due to the high cost of coal-powered electricity when compared to cheaper natural gas. TMPA had been trying to sell the plant since 2016. In June 2026, SpaceX and Tesla, Inc. agreed to build the Terafab facility at Gibbons Creek Reservoir. Fish populations Gibbons Creek Reservoir has been stocked with species of fish intended to improve the utility of the reservoir for recreational fishing. Fish present in Gibbons Creek Reservoir include largemouth bass, bluegill, catfish, Tilapia, white crappie, and black crappie. The water has standing timber and aquatic vegetation but generally is rather turbid. Its shoreline is covered with native grasses mixed with oak, elm, and other East Texas hardwoods. Recreational uses Boating and fishing are very popular. The steam power plant on the southwest shore of the lake constantly pumps in warm water that keeps this lake a viable fishing spot year-round, even when other lakes in the area become too cold in the winter months. Recreational fishing and other activities on this lake are regulated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Der Gladys Porter Zoo befindet sich in der Stadt Brownsville, im Cameron County des US-Bundesstaats Texas. Der Abstand zur Grenze zu Mexiko im Süden beträgt nur knapp zwei Kilometer. Der Zoo ist Mitglied der Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). Geschichte Gladys Porter, die Tochter von Earl C. Sams, dem ehemaligen Präsidenten des Einzelhandelsunternehmens J. C. Penney und Gründer der Earl C. Sams Foundation lernte 1960 bei einem Besuch in Afrika die dortige Tierwelt kennen. Nach ihrer Rückkehr begann sie mit der Planung für einen Zoo im Rio Grande Valley, der das Hauptprojekt der Earl C. Sams Foundation wurde. Am 3. September 1971 eröffnete der nach der Initiatorin Gladys Porter Zoo genannte Tierpark und wurde von der Earl C. Sams Foundation an die City of Brownsville übergeben. Tierbestand und Anlagenkonzept Im Gladys Porter Zoo werden auf einer Fläche von etwa 13 Hektar rund 1600 Tiere in 377 Arten gehalten (Stand 2025). Das gesamte Gelände ist parkartig angelegt und mit vielen exotischen Pflanzen versehen. Die Tiere sind in fünf Bereiche aufgeteilt, die im Wesentlichen nach geografischen oder taxonomischen Gesichtspunkten eingeteilt wurden. Der größte, Africa genannte Bereich ist mit weiträumigen Freianlagen für Giraffen-, Antilopen- und Gazellenarten ausgestaltet. Außerdem gibt es Anlagen für Löwen, Breitmaulnashörner, Zebras und Westliche Flachlandgorillas. Die Sektion Indo-Australia zeigt u. a. Primaten, Kängurus und Leistenkrokodile.

Gladys Porter Zoo

Gladys Porter Zoo is a zoological and botanical park located in Brownsville, Texas, United States. The zoo officially opened on September 3, 1971, and currently averages over 424,000 visitors annually. Situated on 31 acres (13 ha), the zoo houses about 400 animal species (including 47 endangered species) and over 250 tropical and neo-tropical species and subspecies. It is the first zoo to have successfully bred the endangered Jentink's duiker (although none are currently in captivity in the US). It is also the birthplace of Harambe, the gorilla. The zoo is named after Gladys Porter, the daughter of Earl C. Sams, former president of J. C. Penney. Porter, a wildlife enthusiast, helped to plan and stock the zoo, which was entirely funded by the Earl C. Sams Foundation. After its opening, the zoo was given to the city of Brownsville. History The zoo was planned, built, stocked, and given by the Earl C. Sams Foundation to the City of Brownsville. It opened on 3 September 1971. The first addition to its exhibits was the Herpetarium, which opened in April 1973. The zoo has been the single largest recipient from the foundation funds established by Sams. The zoo published the first issue of its Zoo News (its official newsletter and now a quarterly publication) in January 1972. The naturalistic exhibits at the zoo won the 1979 Texas Building Branch of Associated General Contractors Outstanding Construction Award. In 1978, the zoo launched its summer study programs on a trial basis with classes for children in grades 1 through 12. Although only four classes were taught that summer, the program has expanded over the years and now includes classes in the spring and fall as well as summer. The zoo also received accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) in 1978. In subsequent years, Orangutan Island was enlarged, the Herpetarium was expanded with a new aquatic wing, and many other exhibits as well as facilities such as the gift shop, offices, and concession stands were remodeled or added. Most of these projects were made possible by the zoo's annual Zoofari fundraisers. In 1986, the zoo created an endowment fund with the help of matching grants from the Earl C. Sams (dollar for dollar up to $2 million) and the Lightner Sams Foundation (dollar for dollar up to $1 million). Income from this permanent endowment now ensures that the zoo can maintain and improve itself. The Australian exhibit opened in February 1988 — the largest addition to the zoo since its opening. The Education department was also expanded in 1989 and a walk-through aviary (Zack's Aerie, made possible by private donations) was also opened.

Goodman–LeGrand House

The Goodman–LeGrand house and museum is located at 624 North Broadway, in the city of Tyler, county of Smith in the U.S. state of Texas. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Smith County in 1976, and has been a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark since 1962. The Daughters of the American Revolution designated it an Historic Site in 2010. History Named Bonnie Castle by original owner Samuel Gallatin Smith, the Greek Revival cottage was built in 1859 on a parcel of 9 acres (3.64 ha; 0.01 sq mi) in Tyler. Smith joined the Confederate States Army in 1861 and sold Bonnie Castle to local Tyler teacher F.N. Gary, who never resided in the house. After the 1862 Capture of New Orleans, Gary made the house available to numerous families of refugees fleeing the Union Army. Gary sold the house to retired physician Samuel A. Goodman in 1866. In 1872, Goodman's physician son William J. Goodman purchased the house for $3,000 and moved in with his wife Priscilla Gaston Goodman. William and Priscilla raised four children in the house, and in 1880 added a second floor to the structure. Victorian double galleries were also added on all sides of the house. The Goodman daughter Sallie continued to live in the home with her husband James Hutcheson LeGrand after their 1893 marriage. The couple was active in local civic affairs, providing their home as a gather place for several charitable and social events. They were ardent supporters of the Tyler rose festival. Their only son died at age 2 in 1896. When William Goodman died in 1921, Sallie inherited the house. The LeGrands completely remodeled the house in 1926 to the current Classic revival style. The current semi-circular porticos were added during this remodeling. Museum James Hutcheson LeGrand died in 1935. Upon her death on October 12, 1939, Sallie LeGrand bequeathed the house and all her personal journals to the City of Tyler. It officially became the city's property in 1940. In 1962, the house became a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. In 1976, the house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places Listings in Smith County. The Daughters of the American Revolution designated the house a national Historic Site in 2010. A major renovation of the house was begun in 2010 and was completed in 2011.
