Bremond, Texas
Bremond (/ˈbriːmɒnd/ BREE-mond) is a city in Robertson County, Texas, United States. The population was 858 at the 2020 census.
Bremond is named for Paul Bremond (1810–1885), entrepreneur and founder of the Houston, East and West Texas Railroad 1875, who owned the surrounding land. Years later, the new owner, cotton baron William Marsh Rice, whose first wife was Bremond's daughter, Margaret, had the town surveyed and named after Bremond. The town was incorporated in 1870. In the 1870s a large number of Polish immigrants came to the area to grow cotton. Bremond holds an annual festival yearly to celebrate its Polish heritage.
In 1878, local resident Francis Marion Wootan discovered that the local water had a high mineral content. Following a popular trend at the time, Wootan began bottling the water and marketing it for its curing properties. Wootan Wells soon became a popular resort community, with four hotels and hundreds of support staff. (See also Mineral Wells, Texas)
In 1916, fire devastated the community, dealing a heavy blow to Wootan Wells also. Flooding and drought also contributed to the decline of the town, and in 1921 another fire shut down Wootan Wells permanently.
Texas Highway 6 was once routed through Bremond coming into town with Texas Highway 14 and took a sharp turn to the left in the town onto what is now Farm to Market Road 46. Highway 6 was later realigned and bypassed Bremond to the west. Where Texas Highway 6 intersects Farm to Market Road 46 if you look to the right coming south and to the left going north you can still see part of the curve that the original highway made to go into Bremond from the north.[citation needed]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.9 square miles (2.3 km2), all land.
Bremond is part of the Bryan-College Station metropolitan area.
As of the 2020 census, Bremond had a population of 858 and 217 families. The median age was 43.5 years, with 24.1% of residents under the age of 18 and 22.0% of residents 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females there were 100.0 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 95.5 males age 18 and over.
