Hyde Park TX History

According to the Hyde Park Civic Association, the community was established in 1893, making it one of the oldest Houston neighborhoods.

Back in the 1840s, the land which is now known as Hyde Park was previously owned by Mirabeau B. Lamar, the second President of the Republic of Texas. It was later annexed by the City of Houston.

Several years later in 1911, J. W. Link of the Houston Land Corporation bought about 250 acres of land in what is now modern day Montrose/Neartown. Link envisioned his development as a “streetcar suburb” with Montrose Boulevard running through the center of the neighborhood.

The Link-Lee mansion, the former residence of Link himself, is located just a few blocks away from Hyde Park. The mansion now serves as the University of St. Thomas’ administration offices.
