Clute City

Clute, also known as Clute City, is on Clute Lake and the Missouri Pacific Railroad between State highways 332 and 227, southeast of Lake Jackson and ten miles south of Angleton in south central Brazoria County. The site was one of the county's first plantations and is named for two Northerners who later acquired the property. Alexander Calvit , one of Stephen F. Austin 's Old Three Hundred , and Jared E. Groce acquired about 4,800 acres of land there in 1824 for Evergreen Plantation
