Beasley is a city in Fort Bend County, Texas, United States, within the Houston–Sugar Land metropolitan area. As of the 2020 census, Beasley had a population of 608. State Highway Loop 540 goes straight through the city from the northeast to the southwest while U.S. Route 59, the Southwest Freeway, passes to the south of Beasley. The Union Pacific Railroad tracks run parallel with Loop 540.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 641 to 608 (-5%). Half of its homes were built before 1985.

National Register of Historic Places

Nothing in Beasley is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Beasley has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Henry G. and Annie B. Green House in Kendleton, 5.7 miles away.

How a place gets listed
