Before Sienna became one of Houston's most desirable communities.

Sienna Before Sienna became one of Houston's most desirable communities. more than 200 enslaved people were forced to work this land and one of the industries that created its wealth was sugar. One of the most punishing forms of plantation labor in American history. During harvest sugar production could operate around the clock. The work was relentless, dangerous and physically demanding. The land I'm standing on was once known as Arcola Plantation. owned by Jonathan Dawson Waters. By 1860, Waters was the wealthiest person in Fort Bend County, and the third largest slaveholder in Texas. with 216 enslaved people recorded by the census. And you don't have the search through history books to find evidence of the past. Some of it is still right here. These massive iron sugar bowls remain here in Sienna today, which is a physical reminder of the industry that once helped define this land. But history isn't only about where a place has been. It's about where a place chooses to become. It later became connected to the Scanlan family. and the Scanlan family organization. Eventually becoming known as Sienna Plantation. Then in the 1990s, one of its biggest transformations yet. Homes rose, schools opened, parks were built, businesses followed. and thousands of families begin calling Sienna Plantation home. But another transformation was happening to the move towards the shorter name. Sienna actually begin in 2019. Then in 2020, when George Floyd, once a resident of Houston, was tragically murdered, it sparked a national conversation about race and history. In Minneapolis, where George Floyd died, police fired... That change took on a much deeper meaning. Sienna's developers decided that now more than ever, removing language that could be hurtful was the right thing to do. It truly was a way to respect the community while continuing to grow. where people from every background could feel welcome. That's when the name Sienna Plantation simply became Sienna. Sienna Plantation simply became Sienna. According to the 2020 census.
