Stafford is best known within Texas for operating the Stafford Municipal School District, the state’s only municipal school district. On the flat Gulf Coastal Plain southwest of Houston, the city follows the U.S. Route 90A corridor and lies chiefly in Fort Bend County, with a smaller area in Harris County. Its roots reach back to an 1824 Mexican land grant awarded to William Stafford, whose name the community retains; Stafford incorporated as a city in 1956. Rather than presenting itself as a separate metropolis, it forms part of Houston’s close-knit southwestern suburban belt, alongside Sugar Land and Missouri City.
