Pittsville is an unincorporated area that formerly held a distinct community in Fort Bend County, Texas, United States. The site is along Farm to Market Road 359 near Hunt Road and is nineteen miles northwest of Richmond and three miles north of Fulshear. Some consider Pittsville a Texas ghost town since its last residents left in the 1940s. The area is growing, as Greater Houston stretches westward into the Katy–Fulshear–Simonton area.
