"With a small town ambience and big city convenience, Sweeny, Texas, is perhaps one of the best kept secrets in Brazoria County. Situated slightly off the beaten path, near the San Bernard River in the Western most reaches of Brazoria County, Sweeny enjoys the natural beauty and rural atmosphere prized by so many, yet is only one-and-a-half hours from the heart of Houston, the largest city in Texas, and less than one hour's drive from the beaches of Galveston, Surfside, and Matagorda.

There are excellent employment opportunities offered by nearby major corporations and their supporting business partners. Unlike other cities of comparable size, Sweeny has a Community Hospital which has recently completed a major expansion/renovation project which includes a state-of-the-art assisted living facility.

Our Independent School District has a long history of outstanding academic achievement and athletic prowess.  The high school campus has just completed a major renovation, greatly expanding student capacity.  The elementary and intermediate campuses are less than 15 years old and are in excellent condition with respect to both student capacity and overall facility condition. 

There are three junior colleges in close proximity to Sweeny which offer Associate Degrees in academic fields and Certificates in occupational-technical fields providing a well-rounded workforce. One offers a 4-year degree program which confers the degree of "Bachelor of Applied Technology with an Industrial Management Major."

We have churches of all denominations, and our residential areas offer both moderate and upscale housing. Lastly, our City Government is responsive to the needs of our citizens. In short, Sweeny is a great community in which to live, work and raise a family.

So, if you are contemplating a change, check us out!"
