Lake Jackson is named after an oxbow lake of the same name on the outskirts of town. The lake in turn was named after the family whose antebellum plantation house, sat alongside the lake; only very minor ruins of the Lake Jackson Plantation, can now be seen in a park at the site. The city is the birthplace of famous Tejano singer Selena.
Lake Jackson is represented in the U.S. Congress by Rep. Ron Paul, a candidate for the U.S. presidency in 2008. (...) more....
