Pittsville, Texas A Forgotten Corner of Fort Bend County

I've been busy videoing different events over the past few weeks.  This 19-minute video records the State Marker Dedication Ceremony for Pittsville, a small community north of Fulshear.  It no longer exists and much of its history was nearly forgotten until the Fort Bend Historical Commission sponsored this Marker.

Unfortunately, the Pittsville exhibit at the Fort Bend Museum is over, but it recounted the interesting history of this small community on the northern border of Fort Bend County.  Here is a link to a brief article on Pittsville in the Handbook of Texas.

 

Here's another link to a famous, but forgotten citizen of Pittsville. Laura Krey is Fort Bend County's equivalent of Margaret Mitchell, author of "Gone With The Wind."
