Hey, I was actually born in Deer Park. But after 1st grade we moved to Alvin...which is right next to Sugarland in fact. Alvin's article was short and boring, which is apt. There's 2 things Alvin is "famous" for: being the hometown of Nolan Ryan, and holding the 24 hour rainfall record.

But now I live in Galveston. Much more extensive read there, and it seems to cover it well.
