The first land-grant college in Texas�called the Agricultural and Mechanical College�was predominantly a military school; built in 1876 in a then-remote area of Central Texas. Like other developments; the institute was a result of the expanding railroad; so a station named �College� was erected to service the new school. Drawing newcomers to the area; the city of College Station was incorporated in 1938; and its size soon rivaled that of neighboring Bryan�the Brazos County seat. The College Station area offers a surprisingly diverse mix of attractions; including the George Bush Presidential Library; the Texas Motor Speedway; and Kyle Field. During the last century; the college has grown from a few hundred students into a major university with more than 49;000 students; making Texas AM the seventh-largest school in the nation. Today College Station is home to some 100;000 people.
