History

The Father of Texas, Stephen F. Austin, first settled in Jones Creek. His original grave resides in the Gulf Prairie Cemetery located on Gulf Prairie Road in Jones Creek. Emily Austin Perry (Stephen F. Austin’s sister) and her second husband, James Franklin Perry settled in Jones Creek too at the now historic Peach Point Plantation. Jones Creek is named for Randal Jones, a military leader of early lower Brazos Anglo colonists. Jones led the June 22, 1824, attack on a group of Karankawa Indians on the banks of a certain small stream of water in the lower Brazos region. Afterwards this particular creek near the San Bernard River became associated with the name “Jones”, and the event was noted in history as the Battle of Jones Creek. Thereafter, the area around the creek became described as Jones Creek too.
