About Anderson
Anderson is a quiet, small community that serves as the county seat of Grimes County, located about thirty miles southeast of Bryan-College Station. With around two hundred residents, the town moves at an unhurried pace, defined by open pastures, gravel backroads, and a classic 1890s courthouse square. Much of the town is recognized as a national historic district, giving the area a distinct nineteenth-century character with preserved homes and historic landmarks.
For families and newcomers looking for acreage and a tight-knit atmosphere, Anderson offers plenty of space alongside the Anderson-Shiro Consolidated Independent School District. The local schools sit right in town, serving as a central hub for youth sports and community gatherings. State Highway 90 runs straight through, providing a quick drive to shopping and dining in nearby Navasota while keeping neighborhood traffic light and daily life peaceful.
