Porter TX History

Porter is an unincorporated community in Montgomery County in southeastern Texas. It is within the Houston–The Woodlands-Sugar Land metropolitan area.

The earliest settlement in east Montgomery County developed in what is now New Caney, just north of Porter. The Houston, East, and West Texas Railroad was built through the area in the late 1870s and 1880s. An influx of settlers moved to various points along the new railway. When the post office opened in 1892, the town was referred to as Porters. In 1953, the post office dropped the "s," resulting in the town's current name of Porter.
