**Bryan** is a city in and the [county seat](/source/County_seat) of [Brazos County](/source/Brazos_County,_Texas),[5] [Texas](/source/Texas), United States. It is located in the heart of the [Brazos Valley](/source/Brazos_Valley) ([East](/source/East_Texas) and [Central Texas](/source/Central_Texas)). As of the [2020 census](/source/2020_United_States_census), the city had a population of 83,980. Bryan borders the city of [College Station](/source/College_Station,_Texas), which lies to its south. Together they make up the [Bryan–College Station metropolitan area](/source/Bryan%E2%80%93College_Station_metropolitan_area), the 15th-largest metropolitan area in Texas with 268,248 people as of 2020.[6]

## History

The area around Bryan was part of a land grant to [Moses Austin](/source/Moses_Austin) by [Spain](/source/Spain). Austin's son, [Stephen F. Austin](/source/Stephen_F._Austin), helped bring settlers to the area. Among the settlers was [William Joel Bryan](/source/William_Joel_Bryan), the nephew of Stephen Austin. In 1866, the county seat of [Brazos County](/source/Brazos_County,_Texas) was changed from [Boonville](/source/Boonville,_Texas) to Bryan, and a post office was opened. In 1867, after many delays caused by the [Civil War](/source/American_Civil_War), the Houston and Texas Central Railroad, which had only previously gotten as far as [Millican](/source/Millican,_Texas), finally reached Bryan. A short time later, in 1871, the city of Bryan became incorporated. Just south of Bryan, the [Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas](/source/Agricultural_and_Mechanical_College_of_Texas) opened in 1876 in what would later be known as [College Station](/source/College_Station,_Texas). The following year, 1877 saw the establishment of the [Bryan Independent School District](/source/Bryan_Independent_School_District). Keeping up with progress in the rest of the country, Bryan added electric lighting and a waterworks to its community in 1889. The fifth Brazos County courthouse was built in 1892, and by the turn of the century, in 1900, the International-Great Northern Railroad stopped in Bryan.

Using a generous grant of $10,000 from [Andrew Carnegie](/source/Andrew_Carnegie), the [Carnegie Library](/source/Carnegie_library) of Bryan opened its doors in 1902. A bell, made in 1905 and rung in 1918 to signal the end of World War I, is still located out front today.[7] In 1910, the town built an interurban railroad to College Station. By 1923, the line was abandoned. The first Jewish place of worship, the Temple Freda synagogue, was opened in 1913.[8] During the 1930s, the town of North Oakwood merged with Bryan. Now Bryan and College Station are "twin" cities. In 1936, [State Highway 6](/source/Texas_State_Highway_6) was built, running right through town.

In 2006, the Texas A&M University System announced that the new Texas A&M Health Science Center campus would be built in Bryan near the new Traditions Golf Course development.[9]

A fire at the El Dorado Chemical Co. in 2009 caused the evacuation of 70,000 residents due to the burning of [ammonium nitrate](/source/Ammonium_nitrate), possibly causing minor respiratory problems.[10] However, the city requested that only "anyone who can smell smoke or see smoke to evacuate their homes and businesses" and did not enforce an evacuation except for 500 homes in the nearby vicinity of the fire.[11][12] Less than 1,000 residents chose to evacuate, taking shelter at [Texas A&M University](/source/Texas_A%26M_University), which closed its campus for the day to ease traffic problems. City fire officials chose to let the fire burn down before tackling it, since the chemicals were water reactive.[11][13][14] The evacuation, which started at 2:30 pm [CST](/source/Central_Time_Zone_(North_America)) ended at 7 pm, except for a small, defined area immediately around the fire, where approximately 100 Bryan residents lived.[13] In the end, only 500 residents were under a mandatory evacuation, and 35 people were treated for respiratory problems from the smoke. Officials from El Dorado said there was never any danger from the smoke or fire. The warehouse, valued at just under $1 million, was destroyed.[12]

In 2010, the Brazos County District Attorney's Office started the enforcement of a "Gang Safety Zone" in response to an escalation in violence within Bryan. Major US papers and ABC News covered this move. Cities like [Houston](/source/Houston) and [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles) looked to the Bryan model of safety enforcement surrounding [gang violence](/source/Gang_violence). The injunction declared a 3.2-mile (5.1-kilometre) area in Bryan as the Gang Safety Zone. This placed about half of downtown in the area.[15]

In 2013 the [Planned Parenthood](/source/Planned_Parenthood) clinic in Bryan closed as a result of state budget cuts which impacted family-planning facilities. The facility began offering abortions in 1998; it was one of three in the state which ceased operations on August 31, 2013.[16]
