Spring Valley Village TX History

Like the other Memorial Villages, Spring Valley Village is a city steeped in history – in fact, some of the neighborhood’s early settlers and landowners are commemorated in its street names.

In 1848, Spring Valley was home to a number of German settlers who built farms and sawmills in the largely wooded area.

By the 1950s, the neighborhood still housed a collection of small farms and homes. However, interest in the area was growing and rumors swirled around that Houston was looking to annex the neighborhood. Concerned about zoning, residents – some of whom were descendants of Spring Valley’s original settlers – filed for a petition for incorporation.

After two elections, Spring Valley Village was incorporated with a mayor-city council type of government in 1955.

Zoning was the major factor in the city’s incorporation, and its first ordinance was for the regulation the issuance of building permits. Other ordinances followed, including one for governing subdivisions. Under the old zoning ordinace, homes were limited to one-story single-family dwellings with a 10,000-square foot minimum lot area.

In 1981, major changes were made to allow for the construction of 2-story homes.

Today, Spring Valley Village is one of the most desirable places in which to live west of Downtown Houston. It operates its own police department. The Village Fire Department and the water authority serves all six villages.
