College Station Roofing – Millican, Texas
Town History
At College Station Roofing, we’re proud to serve the historic community of Millican, Texas — one of the earliest settlements in Brazos County. Established in the 1820s by Robert and Elliott Millican, this frontier town began as a small crossroads community and quickly became a strategic transportation and military hub. By the time the Houston and Texas Central Railway arrived in the 1860s, Millican was booming with schools, churches, and nearly 3,000 residents. It even played a major role during the Civil War as a Confederate shipping center and training ground. Though its population later declined due to shifting rail routes and the impact of a yellow fever epidemic, Millican’s legacy is rich with the stories of early Texas grit and resilience. We’re honored to contribute to that legacy by helping homeowners here protect their historic properties with modern, dependable roofing.
