About

Who We Are

Located in Brazoria County, Texas, Port Freeport is an independent governmental body authorized by an act of the Texas Legislature in 1925. The Port is governed by a board of six commissioners that each serve six-year staggered terms. The Commissioners are elected by the districts’ voters, and our district encompasses 85% of Brazoria County. Port Freeport is located approximately 60 miles south of Houston, Texas and is accessible via State Highway 36, and Highway 288. Port Freeport is the shortest and soon-to-be deepest channel on the Gulf Coast. We strive to bring jobs and opportunity for the community and continue to be an economic driver locally and nationally.
