Briargrove Park, much like its Memorial area neighbors, used to be a rural area. It was a dairy farm, while nearby Westchase was a cattle ranch owned by an oilman.
Development started in 1963, spearheaded by J.L. Phillips. The developer even used the existing two-story farmhouse as an office. He later built his own home within the subdivision.
Early homes featured three pine trees (as seen on the neighborhood’s logo) – some of which still stand today.
