What sets Sienna apart from other Texas communities is its local history – one that began as a large cotton-growing community and sugar plantation. The land that ultimately became Sienna was first settled by two men, Captain David Fitzgerald and Captain William Hall. After the Texas Revolution and final conflict at San Jacinto, the area, located in Fort Bend County, continued to expand.

By 1860, this area was referred to asWaters Plantation and was made up of 6,500 acres – acres that was set aside for producing cotton, corn, and sugar cane. The plantation even had its own wharffor shipping on the nearby Brazos River. At that time, paddlewheel ships were used to transport cotton, sugar, or corn grown on the plantation. The property, during that time, featured 2 sugar mills, about 80 hours, a sawmill, and a brickyard.

Today, Sienna features massive oak trees– a reminder of a time when the “Father of Texas,” Stephen F. Austin walked in the shade of the trees. Sienna residents, therefore, feel fortunate, to call this historical site and unique master-planned community home. Whether they take part in activities at one of the many parks, or contemplate the area’s history, they have found a place that they feel proud to call their Texas residence.
