 Brazos Genealogical Association, Brazos Co Texas
Located between the Navasota and Brazos rivers in southeast central Texas, and bounded on the northwest by Robertson County, on the east by Madison and Grimes counties, on the south by Washington County, and on the southwest by Burleson County.
The Brazos River, which bisected the latter, proved a serious obstacle to county government, and a new county, Navasota, was formed in January 1841.
In 1860 growth in the county was speeded by the arrival of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad, with Millican as its terminus.

 Brazos River, Texas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
This section of the Brazos is about 45 miles of flatwater characterized by a widening riverbed running shallower as you paddle downriver with no windbreakers to ward off the prevailing southerly headwinds.
Local rainfall and dam releases are the sources for all water in the Brazos River, which is fed by the Paluxy and Bosque Rivers.
This reach of the Brazos River is well-suited for families and paddlers with minimal experience who want to find out how much fun river paddling really is. The take-out at US Highway 67 is steep and difficult, but it does test your ingenuity and determination.

 Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Washington-on-the-Brazos was a settlement along the Brazos River in Texas, then part of Mexico, which was the site of the Convention of 1836 and the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence.
On March 1, 1836, Washington, a small, ramshackle town built next to a ferry landing on the Brazos River became the birthplace of the Republic of Texas.
It was here that delegates elected from each municipality in Texas convened in an unfinished building in near-freezing weather to declare Texas' independence from Mexico, write a new constitution and organize an interim government.

 Brazos v. U.S. Dept. of Agriculture
Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. (“Brazos”) appeals the decision of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas ordering the transfer of its case to the United States Court of Federal Claims.
The debt instrument between Brazos and the FFB (the “Brazos-FFB Note”) provided that if the “Borrower” (defined in the Brazos-FFB Note as Brazos) elected, with the consent of the RUS, to prepay any or all of the principal, then it would also be subject to a prepayment penalty (the “Prepayment Penalty”).
In particular, Brazos argued that the Prepayment Penalty was improperly assessed because it was levied in contravention of certain provisions of the Rural Electrification Act, 7 U.S.C. ยงยง 936a, 936c, which refer only to “the borrower” as being able to choose to prepay and being subject to prepayment penalties.

Below the Caprock escarpment the Brazos traverses an area of rolling topography in the vicinity of Palo Pinto County, where low escarpments cross the watershed and the basins of the Brazos and its tributaries are deeply trenched and confined in narrow valleys with steep sides or bluffs.
The name Brazos was probably first applied to the Colorado River, and there is considerable evidence that several early explorers got the Colorado and the Brazos rivers confused.
Although the Brazos was well known to Spanish explorers and missionaries who described the Indians along its banks, the first permanent settlements on the river were made by Anglo-Americans.
