In 1851, Reuben Anderson encouraged development of a townsite on Augustus Sullivan's land; two of Anderson's sons brought the first lots sold in Port Sullivan. The town benefited from the Brazos river navigation and grew to include stores, saw mill, a college and the population was at one time over 1000 people with a masonic lodge. The cemetery land was purchased in 1867 by the St. Paul's masonic lodge no. 177. The town declined when it was bypassed by the railroad and was a ghost town by late 1800's.
