Seabrook, Texas
Seabrook is a city in Harris County, Texas, United States, with some water surface area located within Chambers County. The population was 13,618 at the 2020 U.S. census. Several fish markets line the city's waterfront, while antique shops and bed and breakfast establishments are found in the city's downtown area.
Seabrook is known for its fish markets on Waterfront Drive where resident shrimpers and fishermen bring in their catches daily.[citation needed] Besides bordering the bay, the city encompasses marshes through which runoff from inland fields drain to the bay. The piece of land was purchased by Seabrook W. Sydnor, who was the son of Galveston mayor and slave trader John Seabrook Sydnor, in 1895. In March 1903, the Seabrook Company of Houston created a layout of the proposed Seabrook Town site. The new town attracted fishermen, merchants and even a few residents.
The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 demolished the local school, but by 1905 it was restored and was run by three teachers who taught 100 students. The local schools became part of the Clear Creek Independent School District in 1947. The population of Seabrook rose from 200 to 560 before the Great Depression, but fell to 200 in 1936, and remained at 400 from 1940 until 1947, when the Albert and Ernest Fay shipyard opened. It could handle 150 boats, and opened up jobs and is the main cause of the population increase. Despite damage from Hurricane Carla, a bridge linking Seabrook and Kemah was completed in 1961. With the opening of the bridge and the Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Seabrook's population rose to approximately 6,000.
In 1986, the decision was made to start the construction of a fixed-span bridge that was tall enough for sailboats to pass under. After this bridge was finished, Highway 146 was linked all the way from Galveston to Texas State Highway 225. This spurred a further increase in the population of Seabrook to its present level of nearly 12,000 people.
Seabrook is located on Galveston Bay at Clear Lake, southeast of Houston near Pasadena and La Porte. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 21.3 square miles (55.1 km2), of which 5.3 square miles (13.8 km2) is land and 15.9 square miles (41.3 km2), or 74.97%, is water.
Seabrook has an oceanic humid subtropical climate, with consistent rainfall throughout the year, but usually with heavier amounts during the hot and humid summer months.
As of the 2020 census, Seabrook had a population of 13,618 and a median age of 38.6 years. 21.3% of residents were under the age of 18 and 12.2% of residents were 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females there were 100.2 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 99.7 males age 18 and over. There were 5,723 households and 3,358 families residing in the city.
