English is an unincorporated community located at County Road 42 and Oyster Creek in northern Brazoria County, Texas, United States. [1] It is located within the Greater Houston metropolitan area.
The community may have been named after the family of an area resident named "Buck" English. English began as a station of the Sugar Land Railway, located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of what is now Farm to Market Road 1462 on Oyster Creek. In 1917, English had a general store and a cotton gin. In 1921, a post office opened in English, closing in 1924 with its functions transferring to the office in Sandy Point. Area maps from the 1980s show several scattered residences and abandoned buildings. [2]
English is north of the Ramsey Unit and 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Angleton. [2]
Today, the community is served by the Angleton Independent School District. Children in the area attend Frontier Elementary School, Angleton Junior High School, and Angleton High School in Angleton.
