Spring Branch Houston History

Spring Branch is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Houston. The Spring Branch area in Houston began as a religious community of German farmers in the 1830’s. The earliest settler, Karl Kolbe, settled on the banks of Spring Branch where it joined Buffalo Bayou.

The heavily wooded area had an abundance of lumber that was used to build early local churches and shops. Many of the surrounding forest land were cleared in 1848 to make way for farms, and farming became the primary industry in Spring Branch Houston.

As the area moved towards industrialization, the farmlands were sold and developed. They were replaced with subdivisions, schools, and shopping centers. Like most areas in Harris County, Spring Branch transitioned from being rural to urban.

Spring Branch has undergone many changes throughout the years, but many of the street names pay tribute to the first settlers.
