Seabrook Texas


American Historic Small-Town Itineraries
Seabrook borders Galveston Bay and includes marshes that runoff from inland fields. It was founded by Seabrook W. Sydnor in 1895; in March 1903, the Seabrook Company of Houston created a layout of the proposed Seabrook Town site. The new town attracted fishermen, merchants and later the nearby NASA Johnson Space Center.
The historic downtown area was constructed in the early 20th century and it is renowned for its antique shops and bed and breakfast establishments. The town hosts the Texas Keels and Wheels classic car and boat show held each year the first weekend in May at Lakewood Yacht Club. A Festival of the Arts is held annually on the grounds of Seabrook City Hall where artists exhibit paintings, sculpture, textiles, jewelry, wood works, photography, and performances by Texas musicians.
Trails there are 8 miles (13 km) of crushed granite trails that connect most of the city's parks, traversing habitats for a wide variety of wildlife. The city is a bird sanctuary, including four sites on the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail and the nearby Armand Bayou Nature Center.
