Missouri City TX History

Steeped in history, Missouri City traces its roots back to the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado Railway (BBB&C). It was the first railroad in Texas and it started operating in 1853, running from Harrisburg to Stafford’s Point (now Houston and Stafford, respectively).

In 1890, two enterprising investors, R.M. Cash and L.E. Luckle, acquired a 4-square mile parcel along the rail line. The real estate investors promoted the property in St. Louis, Missouri. They called it “a land of genial sunshine and eternal summer”, an image that today still features heavily in the city’s logo.

Three years later, W.R. McElroy also purchased an 80-acre parcel in the area and ran an advertising effort similar to that of Cash and Luckel’s. He dubbed the area “Missouri City” to further tie his parcel to the earlier campaign.

The town was registered in the mid-1890s with the Harris County and Fort Bend County clerks. By 1956, residents made the move toward incorporation, due mainly to fears of annexation.

Today, Missouri City is still growing. Master-planned communities, industrial parks, and established neighborhoods make up the city, a mix of new and old.
