DeWalt

DeWalt or Dewalt was an unincorporated area in Fort Bend County, in the U.S. state of Texas. The former community was located on State Highway 6 between Oilfield Road and Farm to Market Road 1092 . DeWalt has been absorbed by the municipality of Missouri City, a Houston suburb. Though Dewalt was noted on highway signs as late as 2013, there are few surviving structures and locations from the original community. In 2006, the Dew Plantation's house was moved from DeWalt to nearby Kitty Hollow Park to preserve it as a museum. The private Dewalt Cemetery still exists within the Lake Olympia subdivision.

DeWalt was situated along SH 6 near its junctions with Oilfield Road , which goes west, and DeWalt Road , which heads east. A second source placed DeWalt about a mile northeast at SH 6 and FM 1092. Both intersections are surrounded now by commercial and residential areas. DeWalt was about 5 miles southeast of U.S. Route 59 in Sugar Land. Lake Olympia Parkway crosses southeast-flowing Oyster Creek by a bridge about 0.1 miles east of SH 6.
