Fort Bend County is a government administration serving residents in Fort Bend County, located just southwest of the City of Houston. Its history traces to an early 1800s fort on the Brazos River, and the surrounding settlement later became Richmond, the county seat, in 1837. Today, the county is among the fastest-growing in Texas and the United States, with a population that exceeds 600,000. As an employer and provider of public services, Fort Bend County emphasizes attracting motivated staff with competitive pay and benefits. Recent collaborations illustrate the county's efforts to address community needs, including a broadband expansion partnership with Comcast and a health- and justice-focused initiative with the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute. The county has also pursued cultural and public-interest projects, such as a 360-degree virtual art museum commemorating George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement.
