Boonville, Texas

Boonville, Texas was the first county seat of Brazos County. When the Houston and Texas Central Railway was extended from Millican to Bryan in 1866, Bryan was made the county seat. Today, all that remains of Boonville is the cemetery on Boonville Road marked by a Texas Centennial monument. The former town site is now located in Bryan, Texas near State Highway 6. The city was named in honor of Mordecai Boon, Sr., nephew of Daniel Boone.
