Phillipsburg

Phillipsburg is an Unincorporated community in south Washington County, in the U.S. state of Texas. The very small rural community is located along State Highway 36 south of Brenham. Aside from the names of two local roads, the name Phillipsburg is no longer marked on modern maps. The cemetery and Lutheran church, which is still open for worship, are actually slightly to the south in neighboring Austin County.

Phillipsburg is situated on SH 36 at Old Phillipsburg Road 6.1 miles from downtown Brenham. Another source stated that the community is 5 miles south of Brenham. At this point, the BNSF Railway runs roughly parallel with SH 36 and on the west side of the highway. Local roads include Bilski Lane which intersects with SH 36 a short distance north of Old Phillipsburg Road and goes a short ways to the east-northeast. New Wehdem Road meets SH 36 just south of Old Phillipsburg Road and heads generally to the southwest. Phillipsburg Church Road, which approximates the Austin-Washington county line, starts at SH 36 0.7 miles south of Old Phillipsburg Road. Phillipsburg Church Road goes 1.2 miles to the east-northeast before turning sharply to the south-southeast at Wonder Hill Road near St. Paul Lutheran Church of Phillipsburg. There is a state historical marker at the church, which is in Austin County. Phillipsburg Church Road goes 0.7 miles south-southeast to Phillipsburg Cemetery, also in Austin County. Continuing in a southerly direction, the road intersects with SH 36 near Kenney.
