====Wellborn District==== [[Wellborn, Texas|Wellborn]] became a community in 1867 as a construction camp on the Houston and Texas Central Railroad. The town's name has been attributed to a well at the construction camp, a foreman named E.W. Wellborn, or a landowner named W.W. Willburn. Also in 1867, a post office opened in the community under the name Wellborn Station. In 1870, the name was shortened to Wellborn.<ref>"Wellborn, Texas". The Handbook of Texas online. Retrieved July 3, 2009.</ref> On April 14, 2011, the City Council of College Station voted 5β2 to annex Wellborn, thus making the community the Wellborn district. Wellborn is often mispronounced as 'well-born' but is pronounced by locals as 'Well-burn'.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/CS_City_Council_Votes_to_Annex_Wellborn_119890359.html|title=CS City Council Votes to Annex Wellborn|first=Cody Lillich and Clay|last=Falls|access-date=April 19, 2012|archive-date=March 14, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314020047/http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/CS_City_Council_Votes_to_Annex_Wellborn_119890359.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
