Шаблон:Infobox river Carpenters Bayou rises at the south end of Sheldon Reservoir in southeastern Harris County (Шаблон:Coord), Texas, USA.[1] The bayou waterway routes southeast for about twelve miles until it joins Buffalo Bayou at the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site (Шаблон:Coord).[2]

History

The bayou's name commemorates David Carpenter, a partner of William Harris as one of Stephen F. Austin's "Old Three Hundred" families of Austin's Colony in what later became Texas.[3] Carpenter and Harris received a sitio[4] of land in present Harris County, Texas on August 16, 1824, which fronted on Carpenter's Bayou in southeastern Harris County, near San Felipe de Austin.[3] Carpenter was a blacksmith, and a single man at the time of the grant. He may have died as early as 1828, the year that Noah Smithwick bought his blacksmith's outfit in San Felipe.[3]
