Biohazard and Pathogen Disinfection in Seabrook, TX

Seabrook is a city in Harris County on the north shore of Galveston Bay and Clear Lake, about 25 miles southeast of Houston near NASA's Johnson Space Center.

Seabrook is named for Seabrook W. Sydnor, who bought part of the old Ritson Morris league in 1895; the town was platted and promoted in 1900, and a revised townsite layout was filed in March 1903.

More than half of Seabrook's city area is water, and the city has about 10.75 miles of shoreline on Galveston Bay and Clear Lake.

Hurricane Carla damaged or destroyed most of Seabrook's buildings in 1961, and that same year, on October 23, 1961, residents incorporated the city and began rebuilding as the federal Manned Spacecraft Center rose nearby.

A bridge linking Seabrook and Kemah across the Clear Lake channel was completed in 1961, tying the town more closely to the growing Clear Lake area.

Once a quiet resort, fishing, and shrimping town, Seabrook became a bedroom community for Johnson Space Center workers, astronauts, and engineers in the 1960s.

Seabrook counted 13,618 residents in the 2020 census, up from 11,952 in 2010, and the Census Bureau estimated about 13,974 residents by 2025.

Seabrook has about 5,981 households with a small average size of 2.30 people, about 66.3 percent of its homes are owner-occupied, and the median home value is about $350,000.

Seabrook is designated a bird sanctuary and is a site on the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail, where pelicans, ospreys, and sandpipers gather along the bay.

Seabrook's local schools have belonged to the Clear Creek Independent School District since 1947, and the city is home to Seabrook Intermediate School, a magnet campus serving grades 6 through 8.
