About Dickinson, TX

Back in the early 1820s, a man named John Dickinson purchased a large tract of land along what is now known as the Dickinson Bayou. A few years later, a town was established on this land and named in honor of Mr. Dickinson. The town of Dickinson, TX remained a tiny settlement until the 1850s when the Galveston, Houston, and Henderson railroad came through. Serving as a prominent rest stop between Houston and the port city of Galveston, Texas, the city began to flourish and grow. In its history, Dickinson was once home to as many as three railroad stops, a few popular country clubs, and a casino, all built to attract tourists using the railroad between Houston and Galveston.
