Pronounced “pear-land,” like the fruit, Pearland has been among the top five fastest-growing cities in Texas, and among the top 10 fastest-growing cities in the country, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The growth trajectory will continue, albeit at a slower pace, thanks to an advantageous location adjacent to the country’s fourth-largest city, Houston, a dynamic and diverse economic dynamo on the Gulf Coast, part of the “Texas Triangle.” Its location, economy, good planning, and leadership makes Pearland a suburban force currently with even more significant upside potential. Pearland is a broad geographic footprint, 48.84 square miles spanning three counties — Harris, Brazoria, and Fort Bend. The population is 126,000, with a population of the greater metro area of 6,997,384.
