Wilchester TX History

Prior to the 1950s, most of the Memorial area was heavily wooded and rural. Farms, stables, sawmills, and a handful of homes made up most of area.

Several factors led to the area’s development. In the 1950s and 1960s, the post-war housing boom led to Houston’s westward expansion. The completion of Interstate 10 during the period was also a big factor, as commuting to downtown Houston became so much easier.

Developers started buying up properties around the Buffalo Bayou, transforming these lush tracts into luxury subdivisions for upper and middle-class families. Wilchester was one of these subdivisions.

Today, the Memorial area is still one of the most affluent areas in Houston. Wilchester has remained quite popular, thanks to its great atmosphere, highly rated schools, and easy accessibility.
