WoodCreek Reserve TX History

The city of Katy, Texas, was once a small settlement that grew from a prairie known as Cane Island. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, which started operating in the area in 1895, gave the city its name.

People began to settle in the area during this time, raising cattle and planting crops such as rice, peanuts, and cotton. Katy grew as its eastern neighbor, Houston, did. In 1945, it was incorporated as a municipality, and more development came to the area after the completion of Interstate 10.

In 1996, the WoodCreek Reserve Development Company, led by J. Troy Maxwell, offered to buy a parcel of land south of Interstate 10 from the Elizabeth Poorman-Moore family. The family had owned the land for decades and had farmed rice on it until they turned it into a family retreat.

The developers had a vision to transform the Poorman Family Ranch into a community that would incorporate the area's natural beauty into the master plan.

Today, WoodCreek Reserve is home to some of the most sought-after real estate in Katy. Its homes are zoned to the best schools in the district, the community has preserved its wooded surroundings, and residents can enjoy a full range of amenities.
