"Why is this place called Sugarland, anyway?" Pretty sure no one will know in a few years.
The sprawling Imperial Sugar plant complex is being sold to developers planning a project mixing condominiums, single-family homes and retail space.

For decades, the complex was the economic heart of the Houston suburb of Sugar Land. Then in 2003, Imperial Sugar shuttered the packaging and distribution plant, leaving only its corporate offices in the city that took its name from the company.

Imperial Sugar announced on Friday it reached a preliminary agreement with a partnership of Cherokee Investment Partners and W.C. Perry Land Development to buy the 160-acre Fort Bend County property.
As long as they don't change the name to DeLayland. Hell, maybe they should. Those idiots keep voting for him.
