| Pearland and the Santa Fe Railroad The Gulf, Colorado, and Santa Fe railroad built a siding switch called "Mark Belt" near the Chamber of Commerce in 1883 as part of it's Houston to Alvin branch rail line. In 1893 William Zychlinski purchased 2560 acres in this area which he subdivided and platted in 1894. Included in Zychlinski's subdivision was the 273 acre township of Pearland. S.M. Christensen, President of the Southern Homestead Co., contracted to develop the township. As part of a plan to attract settlers to the township Christensen planted numerous Pear and other fruit trees. In 1900 the Santa Fe Railroad built a depot nearby which soon became a gathering place for settlers to meet visitors and pick up mail and supplies. Locally produced cotton, hay, cattle, fruit and vegetables were shipped to market by railroad from the depot. Pearland's development, delayed by the devastating Storm of 1900, surged about 1910 as the Allison-Richey suburban Gardens Co. successfully promoted the area as an agricultural wonderland with vital railroad access. Oil production, cattle ranching, and hay, rice, and fig farming sustained Pearland's growth. The railroads importance diminished and in 1972 the depot closed. It was donated to the city and moved to it's present location, through the efforts of many citizens and organizations. |
