Founded in 1945, the Texas Medical Center spans more than 1,000 acres in Southwest Houston.
The establishment of the district is attributed to Monroe Dunaway Anderson, a wealthy businessman and founder of the M.D. Anderson Foundation.

These two developments helped the surrounding neighborhoods grow.
