West Columbia was chosen by the founders of the Republic of Texas to be the fledgling nation’s First Capitol. Although that designation only lasted a few months, West Columbia and the surrounding area is truly the birthplace of Texas.
History abounds in the area, from the replica of the First Capitol in downtown West Columbia to the stately Varner-Hogg Mansion , now a part of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
But as proud as West Columbia is of its historical ties, the city is also keeping its focus on present growth and future development.
West Columbia is conveniently located at the intersection of two major highways. Highway 36 is a north-south corridor, while Highway 35 runs east-west.
A city of almost 5,000 people, West Columbia has the charm and easygoing lifestyle of a rural community, but is an easy hour’s drive from Houston and everything a major metropolitan area has to offer.
West Columbia lies within the Columbia-Brazoria Independent School District , a TEA Recognized District. CBISD has completed a new elementary school in Brazoria, renovations to the Columbia High School, started construction of a new elementary school in West Columbia and has selected a site for a new Junior High and Maintenance Facility to be located between Brazoria and West Columbia on Highway 36.
The city’s First Capitol Park offers a heated swimming pool, softball fields, a pavilion, a fishing lake and spaces for RV parking.
