About Stafford

Stafford is a Fort Bend County city in the Houston area, located southwest of the city near Missouri City and Sugar Land. Its history goes back to William Stafford's 1830 plantation, but modern Stafford is defined more by its diverse suburbs, business parks, and unusual local government setup, including its own municipal school district. The city also has everyday parks such as Gordon Fountain Lake Park and Vaccaro Manor Park, plus community events like its Juneteenth celebration. Stafford feels practical, connected, and very much part of greater Houston.
