Crabb, Texas

Crabb is a small unincorporated community in Fort Bend County, Texas, United States. The town was made notable when an 11-year-old named Brian Zimmerman won an unofficial election for mayor in 1983. He worked to incorporate the small town, which had a population of under 200 when he was elected. This threatened his mayorship because of Texas state law prohibiting minors from serving as mayor.^[1][2] His story was made into a movie called Lone Star Kid.^[3] While his bid lost, he was reelected mayor again after the referendum.
