In 1824, John D. Taylor (a member of Stephen F. Austin’s Old Three Hundred) received a league (about 4,605 acres) and a labor of land. Taylor’s league centered on “pine point,” an area on the southernmost turn of the Buffalo Bayou. He settled in the area and called his house Piney Point.
By 1885, Piney Point was a station on the Texas Western Railroad. A number of German farmers had also settled in the general vicinity.
During Houston’s suburban boom in the 1950s and 60s, development in the area started in earnest. Several upper middle class subdivisions were developed along the Buffalo Bayou.
During this period, Piney Point – along with Hedwig, Hunters Creek, Bunker Hill, Spring Valley, and Hilshire – were thriving communities, ripe for Houston’s annexation. The six villages filed for petitions for incorporation to prevent annexation and to preserve residential zoning.
Piney Point Village was incorporated in 1955 with an alderman form of government, with its own mayor and five city council members.
As a part of the Memorial Villages, Piney Point jointly operates the Memorial Villages Police Department with Hunters Creek and Bunker Hill. The Village Fire Department and the Memorial Villages Water Authority serves the Memorial Villages.
Like the other Villages, the city still has deed restrictions and building ordinances that preserve the area’s serene country-living atmosphere. Commercial establishments of any kind are not allowed within the city’s borders.
The city is known for its efforts in preserving its wooded areas as well. Piney Point has a village arborist to help residents care for their trees.
