Farnham Park Houston History
Piney Point traces its roots back to the time of Stephen F. Austin’s Old Three Hundred, with John D. Taylor receiving a league of land in 1824.
Taylor’s league centered on the southernmost tip of the Buffalo Bayou, at the time called pine point. He later built his home and called it Piney Point.
Most of the Memorial area was mostly rural up until the 1950s and 1960s. With the development of Memorial Drive and Interstate 10, Houston’s housing boom moved westward. Several developers broke ground on upper-middle-class subdivisions along the Buffalo Bayou during this period.
Homes in Farnham Park were built between the early 1970s and 1980s. Like most of Piney Point Village, Farnham Park features large lots, upscale estate-style homes, and home prices upwards of $1,000,000.
