About College Station: College Station is home to the main campus of Texas A&M University, which opened in 1876 as the state's first public college. The city owes its name to the university's location along a railroad line. College Station did not incorporate until October 1938, following a 217-39 vote. Ernest Langford, sometimes called the Father of College Station, served 26 years as mayor starting in 1942. The George Bush Presidential Library opened in College Station in 1997, drawing national attention to the city and Texas A&M University. Northgate, the mixed-use district just north of Texas A&M, grew from the city's original business district and took its name from the campus north gate. A four-day music festival called North By Northgate began in 1998, became an annual tradition, and was renamed the Northgate Music Festival in 2002. Easterwood Airport, owned by the Texas A&M University System, sits about three miles southwest of central College Station with service to Dallas/Fort Worth. (source)
