Folks,
Taking a closer look at the Galveston Bay Area article and thinking about WP guidelines and earlier feedback, it seems to me to make sense to reduce content in the history section. I don't want to lose the content, though, so I am creating this article for it (and doing this allows me to add in some content here that I had previously omitted to keep GBA from exploding.
Since the GBA article is currently being Peer Reviewed I'm going to leave the history there alone but I'll abbreviate it as part of resolving the feedback once peer review is complete.

Request for info: The Handbook of Texas mentions that Eagle Point (San Leon) was a slave trading post though it does not mention the precise time period (apparently it was not before Lafitte's time and obviously it could not have been after the Civil War but I cannot narrow it further). I have seen some non-authoritative sites that claim this was a major slave shipping/auctioning point prior to Texas being annexed by the U.S.
This seems important to mention but since the HOT article does not even nail down a timeframe I am not sure even where to mention it in this article. Is anybody aware of even a timeframe or any other information?
Thanks.

As I have poked around various resources one thing that I realize is that a LOT of the major developments in the Bay Area are the result of Friendswood Development Company. But I have not seen any sources that really describe the true extent of their involvement in developing the area. Seems like something more should be said in the history. Anybody have any sources with the details?
Thanks.
