Afton Oaks Houston History

The O’Meara and Stahlman families previously owned the farmland where Afton Oaks now sits. Development in the area started in the early 1950s.

Unlike other Houston neighborhoods, residents immediately established a civic club while the area was still under development. Established in 1955, the Afton Oaks Civic Club formulated and heavily enforced deed restrictions in the neighborhood.

Aside from enforcing deed restrictions, the civic club works to protect the neighborhood’s environment by ensuring the trees and pocket gardens are well maintained. They also contracted the BFI to provide backdoor garbage collection.

The active civic club is one of the reasons Afton Oaks was selected for a “Neighborhoods to Standard” renovation program. It is a four-year program that installs improved streets, curbs, and storm sewers in the neighborhood.
