The Durazno Plantation is a historic Southern plantation near Jones Creek, Texas.

## Location

[edit]

It is located near Jones Creek in Brazoria County, Texas.[2]

## History

[edit]

In 1840, 500 acres of land was taken from the Peach Point Plantation to create the Durazno Plantation.[3] "Durazno" is Spanish for peach. The new plantation was given to William Joel Bryan (1815–1903) as dowry when he married Lavinia Perry in 1840.[3][4][5] The people he enslaved were forced to grow cotton and raise cattle.[6][7] After his death, it was inherited by his son Samuel Irwin Bryan, who bequeathed half to his daughter Louella Bryan Brutrus, half to his nephew, Samuel Irwin Stratton.[3]

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings since September 2, 1980.[2]
