Being so close the a
metropolitan area as large as Houston, the Lake Conroe area has
experienced incredible growth and transformation over the last quarter
century. Some of the finest residential developments in the country have
sprung up around the picturesque shores and wooded terrain surrounding
the lake. Neighborhoods such as April Sound, Walden, Del Lago, Bentwater,
Seven Coves, Grand Harbor, Point Aquarius, and Corinthian Point have
become sources of the most sought after residential real estate in the
Houston metropolitan area. Many of Lake Conroe's communities have
superior golf courses and tennis facilities as well as the usual water
amenities like marinas and boat launching. The Woodlands master planned
community just south of the lake has contributed both business and
population incentives to families desiring to live the "good life" on
Lake Conroe. With an ever increasing income base generated from the
attractive business environment the area offers and the superior school
districts educating our children, Lake Conroe's growth has only just
begun!
Lake Conroe is located approximately one hour north of downtown Houston
(via IH-45). Extending 21 miles in length and covering 21,000 surface
acres, Lake Conroe is the reserve drinking water supply for the City of
Houston and offers clean, clear water for a large variety of recreation
(boating, fishing, hunting, golfing, swimming, water skiing, jet skiing,
pleasure boating, etc.). Luxurious hotels and condominiums, quality RV
Parks, waterfront boat storage with valet launching, luxurious
waterfront real estate developments are only a few of the attractions to
this exceptional man made Lake only 60 minutes north from Houston via
IH-45.
HISTORY OF CONROE
In 1881, Houston lumberman Isaac Conroe established a sawmill on
Stewart’s Creek two miles east of the International-Great Northern
Railroad’s Houston-Crockett line on a tract of land in the J. Smith
survey, first settled in the late 1830's. A small tram line connected
the mill to the track, but Conroe soon transferred his operations down
the tracks to the rail junction, where his new mill became a station on
the I-GN. In January 1884, a post office was established at the mill
commissary. At the suggestion of railroad official H.M. Hoxey, the
community took the name Conroe’s Switch, in honor of the Northern-born,
former Union cavalry officer who founded it and served as its first
postmaster. Within a decade, the name was shortened to Conroe.
In the mid 1880's, the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway extended its
Navasota-Montgomery spur eastward through the town, which thus became
the only junction of major rail lines in the county.
A lumber boom beginning in the late nineteenth century in the Piney
Woods of eastern and central Montgomery County attracted scores of
settlers to Conroe. In 1889, Conroe replaced Montgomery as the county
seat. A residence donated by Isaac Conroe served as a temporary
courthouse until a permanent brick structure could be erected in 1891.
By 1892 the community had become a shipping center for lumber, cotton,
livestock and bricks. It had five steam-powered saw and planing mills,
several brickyards, a cotton gin, a gristmill, and several hotels and
general stores. The Conroe Independent School District was established
and by 1896 the community’s first weekly newspaper, the Courier, had
been founded.
By 1900, Conroe was Montgomery County’s largest community. It was
incorporated in 1904 with a population of 1,009, and its first mayor and
city council were elected the following year. In 1906, the first
electric lighting appeared in the town when an electrical generating
plant was constructed on nearby Stewart’s Creek.
The prosperity of the local agriculture and timber industries in the
early twentieth century enabled Conroe to continue its rapid early
growth despite severe fires in 1901 and 1911, which destroyed much of
the business district near the courthouse square. After a few years of
sustained growth, the town’s prosperity was threatened in the late
1920's by the dwindling of the improperly managed local timber supply.
Then in 1930 the spreading effects of the Great Depression struck
Montgomery County, drastically curtailing lumber production and forcing
many mills to close. In November 1930, Conroe’s only bank abruptly
failed and pushed many residents and institutions into financial
doldrums for many years.
The community’s fortunes improved on December 13, 1931, when George W.
Strake discovered oil seven miles southeast of town, thus marking the
opening of the Conroe Oilfield and triggering an oil boom in the county.
Within weeks the local economy had revived, and the Conroe school
district, rescued from financial distress by the discovery of oil within
its boundaries, became one of the wealthiest in the state.
The oil revenues and population influx of the 1930s lent Conroe a
boomtown atmosphere. It briefly claimed more millionaires per capita
than any other town in the United States. During the early 1930s, the
streets were paved for the first time and US Highway 75 was extended
through the town. The ornate Crighton Theatre was erected on the
courthouse square in 1935 and in 1936 a new courthouse was constructed.
These structures still stand today as a testament to the town’s early
history.
HISTORY OF LAKE CONROE
Lake Conroe is on the west fork of the San Jacinto River. It was built
as a joint project of the City of Houston, the Texas Water Development
Board, and the San Jacinto River Authority in 1973 as an alternate water
source for the City of Houston.
The lake has over 22,000 acres of surface water, is 26 miles long and 6
miles wide at the widest point. The average depth of the lake is 20 feet
deep; the deepest spot is 70 feet in the river channel. There are 157
miles of shoreline along Lake Conroe.
The lake is bordered on the north by Sam Houston National Forest, which
provides an abundance of wildlife such as deer, several species of
birds, even alligators. The lake has some of the best fishing around
with species such as blue, channel and flathead catfish; striped, white
and large-mouth bass; crappie and smallmouth buffalo.
For more information on the lake, please contact the San Jacinto River
Authority at
936-588-1111.
HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY
Prior to 1837, Montgomery was a trading post situated a mile north of
its present site. Owen and Margaret Montgomery Shannon, colonists with
Stephen F. Austin, settled and traded with the Indians. Montgomery is
Texas’ third oldest town. In its early days, Montgomery was the trade
center for a large farming area, where stagecoach, railroad and
telegraph lines crossed. Civic and religious organizations came early,
as well as the first school in 1839. In 1848, the city was incorporated,
and in 1842 the first Protestant parsonage in Texas was built there. In
the 1850’s, Montgomery experienced a building boom with some of the fine
homes remaining today. Descendants of original or early owners still
occupy them in many instances. The Civil War halted progress, but by
1900, numerous mercantile establishments were in business, as well as
three cotton gins, railroads active with freight and passengers, five
hotels and boarding houses, doctors, dentists and lawyers. Later when
the railroads by-passed Montgomery and the county seat moved, it
reverted back to a quiet, peaceful little town that is loaded with
history.
HISTORY OF WILLIS
The township sprang up when the Houston and Great Northern Railroad
decided to run a track from Houston to Chicago and the Willis brothers
donated their land in 1870 to the railroad. Willis won the county seat
from Montgomery in 1874, however, the courthouse was never moved to
Willis and in 1889 was moved permanently to Conroe. The tobacco industry
plays a vital role in Willis’ history. Around the turn of the century,
there were several cigar factories and tobacco was the number one crop
grown for many years. In fact, Willis cigars won first prize at the
Columbia World Exposition and were popular throughout the world. At the
demise of the tobacco industry following the imposition of tariffs,
Willis returned to its first industries – timber and farming.
