In 1854, three families loaded a wagon train pulled by large oxen destined for the coastal prairies of South Galveston County. The land they were heading to was rich coastal land in the upper reaches of Clear Creek. The popular mode of travel was by schooner, but these families would be bringing all their worldly possessions. These families were the Butlers, Cowarts and the Perkins. The Cowarts built on a creek that carries their name, Cowart Bayou. The Perkins built on a creek they named Magnolia Bayou, because of the beautiful magnolia trees that lined its banks. The G.W. Butler family settled in the area where City Pharmacy is today.
