EAST BERNARD, TEXAS. East Bernard is on the west side of the San Bernard River at the intersection of State Highway 60 and U.S. Highway 90A, fifteen miles north of Wharton in northeast Wharton County. The community was originally on the east side of the river, where Jethro Spivi built the first residence around 1850; hence the name East Bernard. Settlement was slow until 1859 and the arrival of the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado Railway. A bridge was built, and the depot, Bernard Station, though originally located on the east bank of the river, was moved by 1869 to the west side, to the site of East Bernard's future Main Street.

Trash Service - Trash will be picked up on Saturday July 27th.  NO trash pick up Friday.

Storm Debris Removal - Contracts have been signed and additional paperwork completed.  We are still looking to start collecting the debris around the city starting next week.  This process involves careful documentation to ensure the city qualifies for FEMA reimbursement. If you have debris, it is extremely important to ensure that debris is left next to the road as the debris removal company WILL NOT go on private property to remove debris.  If you see your neighbor has debris not in the proper location, please provide them with this information.
