About Washington Avenue
Washington Avenue followed the La Bahia Road, an Indian trail turned pioneer and cattle route linking Washington-on-the-Brazos and Goliad to the west with Anderson and Louisiana to the east. A railway line developed alongside it in the 1880s, spurring commercial growth in Navasota. Early commercial buildings and homes along the avenue reflected the town's rise as a trade hub.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Washington Avenue
Following La Bahia Road, Washington Avenue through downtown Navasota was a main section of the early road connecting the Western settlements of Washington-on-the-Brazos and Goliad to the Grimes county seat of Anderson to the East and on to Louisiana. Historically, the heavily traveled pathway was an Indian trail and then pioneer and cattle route before developing along a railway line in the 1880s. Many of Navasota's early commercial buildings line the avenue, along with many historic homes and other sites. Washington Avenue continues to serve the community and area, contributing to economic growth and the area's cultural heritage. (2020) Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5000022740
