A planned community of the Friendswood Development Company, Kingwood was founded in 1969. The most recent estimation of Kingwood's population was at 63,000(2004).
In 1995, Kingwood was annexed to the city of Houston, which was the largest annexation in Texas history. Some residents in the town were opposed to it and tried to set up a petition in 1999 for deannexation, but they failed.
The pines and oak still stand to screen and shelter the commercial establishments and animals common to the area still roam the woods that surround the homes.
Kingwood is more than a residential area; it is a community, an attitude, an atmosphere.
Appropriately named "The Livable Forest" Kingwood's beautifully wooded surrounds and innovative master-plan has helped it to grow into a charming small town, where residents find the ideal combination of new homes, amenities, conveniences and outstanding schools all close to home.
