Ideally located 12 miles from the Gulf Coast and 45 miles from Houston, the county seat of Angleton offers a hometown atmosphere in close proximity to world-class amenities. The community slogan, "Angleton where the heart is," epitomizes the small-town spirit that prevails.  Quiet streets, tree-lined neighborhoods, excellent schools, and a nurturing environment make this a wonderful place to live and work.  This thriving city offers many of the conveniences associated with larger metropolitan areas, including the major transportation advantage of the Loop 247 overpass.  Just five miles south of town is the Brazoria County Airport.  The Heart of Angleton Festival draws friends, family, and neighbors together each spring to enjoy live entertainment, great food, activities, and the crowning of local royalty.
