Hedwig Village wasn’t always the upscale enclave that it is today. During the 19th century, the area in which the city now stands was a farm. Hedwig Jankowski Schroeder and her husband Henry owned the said farm. At one point, the German couple donated a part of their land for the construction of a road, which was then named Hedwig Road.
In the 1950s and 60s, development in the area picked up speed due to the construction of Katy Freeway and Houston’s suburban boom. During this period, Hedwig Village, along with the other Memorial Villages, sought to be incorporated, in an effort to preserve residential zoning and to avoid annexation by Houston.
In 1954, Hedwig Village was incorporated with a mayor-city council form of government. A year later, the city passed a zoning ordinance.
Today, the city of Hedwig Village operates its own police department. The Village Fire Department, which serves all six Villages, is located within the city. Hedwig is also under the Memorial Villages Water Authority.
