This is from that website, it is about half way through the article.

"Bush and Nettles met again in 2002 and with songwriter Kristen Hall - she has since left the group - formed Sugarland. Deciding to form a band was less difficult than coming up with a name that felt right and would attract attention. "It's hard to name a band," observes Bush. "You can make a poor decision quickly."

The newly formed group got its name from the hometown of an acquaintance. "It kind of fit," Bush says. "One of the great things about this experience is you have to learn to trust yourself. If it feels right, it's right." "

This another site that says it is from the town:

In an interview they said at the auditions for the instrument players one girl said she was from Sugarland Texas and as soon as she said that they looked at each other and knew that was the perfect name.

Answer 2

The band Sugarland was named after the town of Sugar Land, Texas, where singer Kristian Bush grew up. The name was chosen to signify the sweet memories and sense of community that the town held for him.
