History
The area was first settled when some members of the Old Three Hundred received land grants in the 1820s. Czechs set up the community of Frydek in 1895 on a league of land that was originally granted to Stephen F. Austin in 1831. The settlement was probably named after the town of Frýdek in what is now the Czech Republic. It soon became a market for farmers and ranchers and had a post office in 1901–1906. Frydek had four commercial establishments in 1931 as well as a church that remained in operation in 1999. The population was 25 in 1933, 75 in 1939, and 150 in 1964 through 2000. The population of the community remains predominantly Czech.[1]
In 2019, part of this community was incorporated as the city of South Frydek, after the area around the church became part of the city of Sealy's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ).
Education
The local school had 36 students in 1918.[1] Today, the community is served by the Sealy Independent School District.
