Bryan and College Station are twin cities in Brazos County, Texas, that form the Bryan-College Station metropolitan area. The area is located in the Brazos Valley region of East and Central Texas and is known as “Aggieland” because of the nickname for Texas A&M University’s sports teams and students. The university’s main campus is the center of the area’s social and economic life.

Born of converging cultures and built on deep Texas roots, Bryan is a community filled with authentic stories, people, and places – their legends. Their legends are ever-evolving while staying true to the Texas spirit. Bryan is conveniently located right in the heart of the “Texas Triangle.” That means it is less than a 3-hour drive from each of the largest metro areas in the state.
