The George - Honoring Our LegacyFebruary 10, 2026
The land that is now The George is steeped in history, with a legacy that’s a main character in the shaping of Fort Bend County. As we develop a community where families can launch their own legacies, we strive to honor and remember what came before us. Our name is perhaps the most obvious tribute to The George Ranch and family. From the beginning, we knew calling our community The George was a must. But we didn’t stop there. Subtle and not-so-subtle, you’ll be able to find tributes to this land’s rich legacy throughout The George. Our Logo The George logo includes a capital T and G, with the G being the most prominent. The circle around the letters is the last known brand of The George Ranch. Our 5 Oaks Five oak trees will be grouped on the island where the name of the community is featured. Four of the trees will represent the matriarchs of the George family: Nancy Jones, Polly Ryon, Susan Elizabeth “Lizzy” Davis, and Mamie George. The fifth tree signifies the continued legacy at The George. Treehouse Park One of our first planned amenities is Treehouse Park, a whimsical space reminiscent of the treehouse at The George Ranch that is built into a heritage oak in the side yard of the main historic home. The treehouse was built by A.P. George for his niece Mary Jones, who tragically died in a car accident in 1943. Street Names Naming some of our streets after members of the George family was an easy decision; watch for Mamie Oaks Drive and Polly Oaks Drive. Legacy Park Drive was also selected as tribute to this land’s history. Wildflowers Expect to see plenty of wildflowers at The George. Mamie was known for scattering wildflower seeds on her walks. We share her love of Texas wildflowers and will incorporate them into our landscape. Heritage Trail Heritage Trail winds through The George, giving residents a place to enjoy nature in a welcoming environment. The existing trail, which connects the community to The George Ranch Historical Park, will see several rounds of improvements as development continues. Signage along the trail will detail the history of The George Ranch as well as the family’s lasting impact in Fort Bend. More to Come And that’s just the start! We are 1,500 acres strong, and further development will continue to honor this land’s legacy.
