Brazos County is a county located in the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2010 census, its population was 194,851.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/48/48041.html )〕 The county seat is Bryan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 Along with Brazoria County, the county is named for the Brazos River, which forms its western border. The county was formed in 1841 and organized in 1843. Brazos County is part of the College Station-Bryan, TX Metropolitan Statistical Area. ==History== In 1837 most of the area of present-day Brazos County was included in Washington 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. The first court, with Judge R. E. B. Baylor presiding, was held later that year in the home of Joseph Ferguson, fourteen miles west of the site of present Bryan. The county seat, named Boonville for Mordecai Boon, was located on John Austin's league and was surveyed by Hiram Hanover in 1841. In January of the following year Navasota County was renamed Brazos County.〔(Brazos County in ''Handbook of Texas Online'' )〕 Originally one of the state's poorer counties, the county donated 2,416 acres of land in the 1870s to create Texas A&M University, which has enabled the county to be among the state's most financially successful.
