Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sugar Lands earliest settlers arrived in the 1820s with Stephen F. Austin, the Father of Texas. Originally named Oakland Plantation, the area was planted with cotton, corn, and sugar cane, and by 1843, it had its own sugar mill. Benjamin Franklin Terry, famous for leading Terrys Texas Rangers, and William Jefferson Kyle purchased the plantation in 1852 and were the first to name it Sugar Land. Col. Edward H. Cunningham, a Confederate veteran, later bought the property and built the first sugar refinery as well as a railroad to transport cane from nearby plantations. Under his ownership, a fledgling town emerged that included a store, post office, paper mill, acid plant, meat market, boardinghouse, and depot. The town, refinery, and surrounding 12,500 acres were acquired by Isaac H. Kempner and William T. Eldridge in 1908. Their vision resulted in Imperial Sugar, a thriving business and company town.

Book excerpt: In 1957 the road ahead for Bill and Mary Little led to a small company town in Sugar Land, Texas. Bill, born in Sandusky, Ohio, in 1931, was headed to his first full-time civilian job, starting his career as a junior executive in one of the nation's most respected family-owned businesses, the Imperial Sugar Company. Sugarland Industries, the Imperial Sugar Company, I. H. Kempner, his family, and their executives had decided that annexation by Houston, just twenty miles southwest, would be inevitable in the very near future. It was clear to these leaders that annexation would not be in the best interest of the company or the residents. They put into motion a series of actions that would lead to an election to convert Sugar Land to an independent city. The town of Sugar Land incorporated in 1959 and is now one of the most affluent and fastest growing cities in Texas. Bill Little served on the first city council, from 1959 to 1961. Bill taught by example and lived by the motto, "If you're good to people, they will be good to you." In 1961, at the age of thirty, Bill became the second mayor of Sugar Land.The road ahead for Sugar Land was well planned. And Bill Little was one of many people who nurtured this new community into what it is today-a place known for its ethical leadership, welcoming culture, and selfless community spirit. Bill continued his career with Sugarland Industries and Imperial Sugar, retiring as vice president of sales for Imperial Sugar in December 1993. The road then led Bill to serve as trustee for the Fort Bend Independent School District and the George Foundation, as well as providing service to many MUD districts and community organizations.Humorist/philosopher Leo C. Rosten said, "The purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all."
