Sugarland and Southwest Houston
Sugar Land is a city in Fort Bend County, Texas, United States, located in the southwestern part of the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metropolitan area. Located about 19 miles (31 km) southwest of downtown Houston, Sugar Land is a populous suburban municipality centered around the junction of Texas State Highway 6 and U.S. Route 59.
Sugar Land is one of the most affluent and fastest-growing cities in Texas. Its population increased more than 158% between 1990 and 2000.[4] Between 2000 and 2007, Sugar Land also saw a 46% increase in jobs.[5] As of the 2010 census, the city’s population was 78,817.[2] Following the annexation of the Greatwood and New Territory communities in December 2017, the city’s population was estimated at 118,600 as of 2018.[1]
Sugar Land is home to the headquarters of Imperial Sugar; the company’s main sugar refinery and distribution center were once located in the city. The Imperial Sugar crown logo is featured in the city seal and logo.
In the 2010s, development began on the Imperial master-planned community, located in undeveloped territory east of Sugar Land Regional Airport and incorporating the former refinery property of Imperial Sugar Company. This development includes Constellation Field, home of the Sugar Land Skeeters, an independent baseball team. Retail needs will be served in the planned Imperial Market development. In 2017, the 6,400-seat Smart Financial Centre concert hall opened its doors.
Sugar Land was ranked as one of the “Top Cities in Texas” for business relocation and expansion by both Outlook Magazine[disambiguation needed] and Texas Business. It has attracted major headquarters from Houston, in addition to other cities.
As in the rest of the Greater Houston area, the energy industry presence is large, specifically petroleum exploration and refining. Sugar Land holds the headquarters to Fortune 500[20] company CVR Energy, Inc.[21] (NYSE: CVI), Western Airways, and NalcoChampion’s Energy Services division. CVR Energy was listed as the city’s only resident 2012 Fortune 500 company[20][21] and was ranked No. 5 public company, according to the Houston Chronicle.[22] Sugar Land also has a large number of international energy, software, engineering, and product firms.
Sugar Land has the most master-planned communities in Fort Bend County, which is home to the largest number of master-planned communities in the nation—including First Colony, Greatwood, New Territory, Telfair, Sugar Creek, River Park, Imperial, Riverstone and many others. Many of the communities feature golf courses, country clubs, and lakes. The first master-planned community to be developed in Sugar Land was Sugar Creek. There are now a total of thirteen master-planned communities located in Sugar Land’s city limits and its extraterritorial jurisdiction combined.
