Katy North TX History

During the mid-1800s, the area now known as Katy was called Cane Island. James J. Crawford received a land grant that included Cane Island during this period.

Growth in the area started in earnest near the turn of the century. It was when the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad laid rails through Cane Island. In 1895, the MKT was going through the area, and James Oliver Thomas laid out plans for the town.

The name Katy came from the railroad: railroad officials called it the Katy (KT). And the name stuck onto the planned town.

In the 1900s, families moved into the town, establishing farms and ranches around the area. Its growth is generally to the MKT and the completion of Interstate 10.

By 1945, Katy became a municipality with a city council and a mayor.

Today, the city of Katy is the anchor point of the Greater Katy area.
