Collegeport's 41st Birthday Party Is Today

Collegeport has scheduled its 41st birthday celebration today. Old settlers and residents of the Collegeport area are invited to attend and bring their own dinner to the Mopac House at noon.

Founded in 1909, Collegeport is noted for its rich farm lands and beautiful bayfront homes.

Once a thriving town of about 1,500 persons, the bayshore town now shares the fate of many another like it. Present population is about 200.

Each year many of the original settlers attend the celebration and relive the historical events that are becoming a rich part of the heritage of that section of Matagorda County.
