A&M was established 6 miles outside of Bryan, Texas. There was a train station stop at the university that was called College Station. As the town grew around the university, they adopted the name College Station.
The cities basically grew into each other. Think of it as a small version of Dallas-Ft Worth or Minneapolis-St Paul.

The city limits are something like a mile from Northgate

This.
Originally there was just a lonely campus out there. It is hard to believe that pre WWII there were only 2K in the town of college station.
Clemson has a similar history where the school was there first and the town existed later.
