Navasota is a city in Grimes County, Texas, United States. The population was 6,789 at the 2000 census. In 2005, the Texas Legislature named the city "The Blues Capital of Texas," in honor of the late Mance Lipscomb, a Navasota native and blues musician.

Navasota is relatively famous for its historic Victorian homes, many of which line Washington Avenue, the main residential and commercial thouroughfare through town. Another historic edifice is Brule Field, which (until recently) served as the primary field for the local high school football team, The Navasota Rattlers.

Visitors also flock to the area each spring to view the famous Texas Bluebonnets, which are in abundant supply along local highways. The city is also home to the LaSalle Statue, a memorial to the famous French explorer. The statue was donated to the city by the French government in 1930.

In recent years, the city has become host to the wildly successful Navasota Blues Festival, a summer gathering of blues musicians and enthusiasts which honors the memory of local blues man Mance Lipscomb. The celebration raises money for local college students.

Navasota also hosts the annual Hertitage Days celebration each spring, an event planned and executed by the Navasota Merchants' Association.
