East Columbia, Texas: East Columbia is an Unincorporated community in Brazoria County, Texas, United States.  It is located nine miles west from Angleton.  It was one of the most important inland ports in Texas.  The river port became a vital component in the plantation-based economy that developed along the Brazos River in the 19th century.  The community was founded in 1824 by Josiah Hughes Bell.  A native of South Carolina, Bell came to Texas with Stephen F. Austin’s Old 300 colony in 1821.  Bell built a landing of log-lines docks and timbered stops on the Brazos River just below Varner’s Creek.  Bell laid out the town and called it Marion.  Bell sold the townsite to Walter C. White in 1827.  By the mid-1800s the town had a population of 800.  The arrival of the railroad in the area led to the decline of steamboat traffic which had an adverse effect on the town’s fortunes.  Storms in 1900, 1909, and 1913 were destructive to the community.  When oil was discovered in West Columbia in 1918, merchants abandoned East Columbia.  By the 1970s the town's post office had already closed and its population had decreased substantially.

Fort Bend: Fort Bend was a blockhouse built in a large bend of the Brazos River in what is now Fort Bend County, Texas, to provide protection against Indian raids.  It was erected in November 1822 by several members of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred, including William W. Little, Joseph Polley, William Smithers[Smeathers], Charles Beard, Henry Holster and is described as a "little log shanty."  The location was reportedly selected by Austin, and a settlement soon grew up around the post.  As the site provided one of the more favorable fords of the Brazos River, it became important during the Texas Revolution.  The Fort Bend crossing was briefly defended in April 1836 by a rear guard detachment led by Wiley Martin.  After Martin was maneuvered out of the position Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna transported a portion of his Mexican army across the Brazos at the crossing.  After Santa Anna's defeat at the battle of San Jacinto the site was used briefly by the Texas army.  Troops under Thomas Jefferson Green, who were in pursuit of retreating Mexican forces led by Gen. Vicente Filisola, halted for a short time in mid-May 1836 at Fort Bend.  Because Fort Bend had been the center of activity in the area its name was given to the county when it was established in 1837.  The next year nearby Richmond, Texas was selected as the county seat and soon absorbed the smaller Fort Bend settlement.  In 1936 the Texas Centennial Commission erected a monument to commemorate Fort Bend's role in the Texas Revolution.
