About Moseley's Ferry
This public ferry crossing the Brazos River along the Old San Antonio Road was established about 1846 by Michael Boren. Daniel Moseley took over operation in 1849, and his family ran the service until 1868, giving the crossing and nearby settlement its name. Ferrymen carried travelers, livestock, and freight until 1912, when a railroad bridge replaced it.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Moseley's Ferry
Situated where the Old San Antonio Road crossed the Brazos River, this public ferry was begun by Michael Boren (1806-75) about 1846. The ferry and a settlement nearby were named for Daniel Moseley (1787-1856), who took over the service in 1849 and whose family ran it until 1868. Other ferrymen continued to transport travelers, livestock, and freight across the river until 1912, when the Houston & Texas Central (now the Southern Pacific) constructed a railroad bridge at this location. Today a highway bridge spans the Brazos where Moseley's Ferry once operated. (1975) Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5051008645
