Founded by farmers in 1859, Bryan began as a small-town stop along the expanding
state railway system. Established in 1871, the all-male Agricultural and Mechanical
College of Texas quickly grew too large to accommodate its students. As a result,
AMCT professors developed College
Station 6 mi (10 km) from Bryan. College Station and Bryan have been given
the title of twin cities, since they are often referred to collectively. Bryan
predominantly serves as an agricultural supply center while College Station accommodates
students of Texas
A&M University, which has a 5,200-acre (2104 ha) campus and more than 42,000
students in several faculties. Supporters of the university and its football team
refer to themselves as Aggies, short for agricultural. In Bryan, numerous intimate
bed and breakfast accommodations offer direct access to Lake
Bryan. In addition to providing recreational spaces and equipment rentals,
this lake also hosts the Bryan
Bluegrass Festival.
