Simonton is a city in Fort Bend County, Texas, United States, within the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area. Simonton is located at the intersection of Farm roads 1093 and 1489, approximately fourteen miles northwest of Richmond, Texas and five miles west of Fulshear, Texas. As of the 2020 U.S. Census, the city population was 647, down from 814 at the 2010 census.
The first thing that shaped Simonton’s archives was with James Simonton and his brother Theophilus bought 4000 acres of house in Northwest Fort Bend County in the 1840s. The two Simonton brothers built a plantation next to the Brazos River. They raised cotton. The year 1850 is officially designated as the founding year for the Simonton before the 1850 US Census showed the two brothers, their mother, Mary, and Theophilus’s wife and two sons residing on the property. Another brother, Joseph, and his associates moved to the plantation in the 1850s. In 1857, Theophilus helped charter the Richmond Masonic Hall Association, symbolizing the elite status of the SImonton relatives in Fort Bend County. The town of Simonton allied Fulshear and Pittsville as the main rural towns in Northwest Fort Bend County.
At the onset of the US Civil War, the 1860 US Census shows that the Simonton’s owned one of the largest and most prosperous plantations in Fort Bend County like a real property value at $200,000 and personal property valued at $155,000. The Simonton brothers have been identified as accompanied by the largest slaveholders in Texas. According to the 1860 US census and a subsequent research, there were 105 slaves on the Simonton plantation on the eve of the Civil War. This census along with revealed that their plantation had 975 enlarged acres that produced 11,000 bushels of corn and 600 bales of cotton. Like many Texas plantation owners, they supported the Confederacy.
The plantation was broken up and sold after the war. Tracts of house were sold to incoming settlers. The Simonton’s actively resisted the post-Civil War Reconstruction efforts. During the Fort Bend Jaybird-Woodpecker embassy battles during post-Civil War Reconstruction, the Simonton brothers joined the Jaybirds, a faction within the Democratic Party, who wanted to oust the Woodpeckers, primarily blacks and their white allies, from the county administration. In October 1888 in user-friendly Pittsville, Theophilus Simonton Jr. was arrested by the county sheriff for fatally shooting a local black leader, Lamar Johnson, and injuring his half-brother, Taylor Randonan. This incident gained regional and national attention upon the deep racial divisions of the Jaybird-Woodpecker War raging throughout Fort Bend County.
