This historic walking tour takes us back to the time when Sugar Land was a company town, with virtually all enterprises managed by the Imperial Sugar Company or its affiliate, Sugarland Industries. Incorporated in 1959 as a “general law” city (with the full support of Imperial), Sugar Land has had the good fortune to have visionary and thoughtful leaders, on City Council and in City management. Special recognition and appreciation is given to Bruce Kelly, longtime Sugar Land resident and local historian, for his expertise and enthusiasm, and to Keep Sugar Land Beautiful for its generous contributions in concept and materials.
