History


Prior to the incorporation of Hunters Creek Village, German farmers settled the area and opened sawmills. By 1936 the community had a sawmill and several residences.[6]

In the mid-1950s, effort to form a Spring Branch municipality failed.[7] The city incorporated in 1954 with a mayor-alderman government.[6] Because of the 1954 incorporation, Houston did not incorporate Hunters Creek Village's territory into its city limits, while Houston annexed surrounding areas that were unincorporated.[8] By 1966 year the community had a school and a church. Between 1960 and 1980 the population increased from 2,478 to 4,580. In 1982 the population fell to 4,215. 4,598 people lived in Hunters Creek Village in 1990.[6]

In 2008, Forbes.com selected Hunters Creek Village, along with the adjacent community of Bunker Hill Village and (southwest suburban) Sugar Land, as one of the three Houston-area "Top Suburbs To Live Well."[9]
