From Bluff to Port Sullivan’s Bluff Becomes a River Port
The 1849 to 1850 era saw steamboat traffic on the Brazos and Washington reach Sullivan’s Bluff area. Boats traveled at five mph, shifting inland transport away from ox carts. In May 1850 river levels swelled four miles wide at Washington, enabling Cameron businessman J W McGowan to promote land and goods upriver. The Little River steamboat trip inspired local pride and marked the only boat to navigate that stream in 1850 before grounding from shallow water.
