Jersey Village TX History

Clark W. Henry owned the original Jersey Village site and founded the community in 1953, along with N. E. Kennedy and Son. They made the decision to build homes on Jersey Lake. Mr. Henry owned 1,236 acres of land on which he ran the F&M Dairy. According to the story, Henry previously ran a dairy and called the new development after his Jersey cows.

Hardly five miles of roadways were built at first, along with drains, water, sewage, gas, and lighting. A few houses were constructed along the Jersey Drive, and the first family relocated in late October 1954.

Local students were initially taught in Cypress and Fairbanks, but an area was allotted at Jersey Village for the construction of the school, a park, and an 18-hole golf course. In 1956, the community was incorporated, with a volunteer police force.

Jersey Village is approximately bounded to the west by the US Highway 290 (Northwest Freeway) and to the east by the Sam Houston Parkway. The neighborhood is traversed by major roads such as Jones Road, N Eldridge Parkway, and West Road. Due to its central location and proximity to Downtown, the community became a popular suburb with increasing demand.

Presently, the neighborhood is known for its "small town" atmosphere and rapid commercial and real estate development.

Housing options in the area have since expanded to redeveloped vintage houses and custom-built modern buildings.
