Whether you are planning to spend the day, a week or a lifetime here, Rosenberg is a community proud of its rich history dating back to 1883 when the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railways laid out a town site and named it after the company’s president, Henry Rosenberg. Rosenberg began as a shipping point on the Brazos River, and reached a boom in the late-18 and early 1900s as railroads developed. It grew to become a center of commerce in the 1940s and 50s, and was knows as the “Hub of the Gulf Coast.” Today, Rosenberg is experiencing unprecedented growth in commercial and residential development while holding tight to its roots and charm.
