Tales from the Brazos
Freeporters remember hectic boom town days
Dan Kessner, who is a native of Freeport, remembers before Dow’s arrival, Freeport was a small town. Although it had indoor plumbing and other amenities, some streets were dirt, so “when it rained people left their cars and walked home or spun their wheels through the mud.”
Sudden prosperity burdened county
Merchants benefited from the growing number of residents brought to the area by jobs offered by Dow in the 1940s — and from the overall increase in the county’s prosperity — and many new businesses opened to meet the demands of increased population and affluence.
