These people became known as the "Old Three Hundred". Among them were Churchill Fulshear and his family. Many years later the town was laid out and named for Churchill Fulshear, Jr. He was a farmer, businessman and horse racer.
Like the settlers who first called Fulshear home, today's Fulbrook residents appreciate life away from the dense suburbs, traffic and stresses of the city.
"To make it perfect, we are still close enough to Houston so we can enjoy the city when we want to."

There is much more development in downtown scheduled to take place, but all of it with the small town characteristics of Fulshear.
Here's what else the Town of Fulshear and it's surroundings offer:
