Neighborhoods
The City of Fulshear, Texas [1] was established in 1824 through a land grant from Mexico to Churchill Fulshear. The community has strong agricultural roots that remain a part of Fulshear’s identity as the City continues to grow and develop.
One of the great challenges in providing parks and recreation amenities in a community is keeping up with a growing demand. With the rapid pace of development, the City’s two small parks and community center have not been enough to meet the needs of existing and new residents alike. In many communities, development of new parks takes place gradually as the community grows over time. In the case of Fulshear, the pace of development has been steady, however the amount of park space provided by the City has not grown at a comparable rate.
The majority of growth in Fulshear has been comprised of master planned residential communities, most of which include an offering of recreational amenities such as parks, trails, and even recreation centers that are owned and operated by Home Owner’s Associations (HOAs). These amenities were developed for the enjoyment of neighborhood residents, and for many, are meeting their daily recreation needs. Residents in these developments have paid premiums with the purchase of their homes to have access to these amenities and pay significant maintenance fees annually to ensure their upkeep. One of the challenges with parks and facilities owned by HOAs is that they are for the exclusive use of neighborhood residents, thereby leaving gaps of service in the City’s recreation system.
Beginnings [2]
Fulshear was established in 1824 of this year by a land grant from Mexico to Churchill Fulshear, one of Stephen F. Austin's original "Old Three Hundred." A small agricultural community developed around the Fulshear Plantation.
In 1888 Churchill Fulshear, Jr., granted the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway a right-of-way through his land, which encouraged more settlers to move to the area.
The town of Fulshear was laid out, platted, and granted a post office in 1890.
