''For the manufacturer of power tools, see: DeWalt.'' DeWalt or Dewalt was an unincorporated area in Fort Bend County, in the U.S. state of Texas. The former community was located on State Highway 6 (SH 6) between Oilfield Road and Farm to Market Road 1092 (FM 1092). DeWalt has been absorbed by the municipality of Missouri City, a Houston suburb. Though Dewalt was noted on highway signs as late as 2013, there are few surviving structures and locations from the original community. In 2006, the Dew Plantation's house was moved from DeWalt to nearby Kitty Hollow Park to preserve it as a museum. The private Dewalt Cemetery still exists within the Lake Olympia subdivision. ==Geography== DeWalt was situated along SH 6 near its junctions with Oilfield Road (now Scenic Rivers Drive), which goes west, and DeWalt Road (now Lake Olympia Parkway), which heads east. A second source placed DeWalt about a mile northeast at SH 6 and FM 1092. Both intersections are surrounded now by commercial and residential areas. DeWalt was about southeast of U.S. Route 59 (US 59) in Sugar Land. Lake Olympia Parkway crosses southeast-flowing Oyster Creek by a bridge about east of SH 6. The private, gated DeWalt Cemetery is located east within a neighborhood near Lake Olympia Parkway.〔 DeWalt (as "Dewalt") is still used in FCC records as the geographical location for some services broadcasting from the several tall towers northeast of the original community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 accessdate=June 19, 2015 )〕 The historic Dew Plantation House had been in DeWalt. It was moved about southeast to county-operated Kitty Hollow Park in 2006 by Fort Bend County and the Fort Bend Museum Association. The building was renovated and now serves as the DeWalt Heritage Center. The DeWalt Heritage Society was formed as part of the Fort Bend County Museum Association to oversee preservation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Fort Bend Museum )〕 File:Dewalt TX Dew Plantation.JPG|In 2006 the Dew Plantation House was moved to Kitty Hollow Park to serve as a museum.
