Other rainfall and temperature observations were taken in Bryan at 2310 23rd Street from September 1, 1913 through March 31, 1947.

A weather station was established at the College Station FAA Airport (originally referred to as Bryan CAA Airport) in August 1951. The FAA Airport Station is now known as Easterwood Field.

The observation site has not moved since 1951 and remains at Easterwood Field. ASOS was implemented in 1997 and was comissioned on April 1, 1997.
