Conroe Texas History And Demographics

Conroe A Suburb Of Houston, Texas

Forty miles north of Houston is the beautiful and wildly popular city of Conroe, Texas. It was first settled in the 1870’s, when immigrants recognized the rich timber that the area had to offer. By 1900, the city’s downtown area was filling with businesses looking to get their share of the timber and lumber trade, but in1901, a devastating fire swept through the city. The city’s businesses quickly recovered their losses and rebuilt thus giving Conroe the tag of “The Miracle City”.

Businesses in “The Miracle City” prospered over the next few years. 1904 brought with it excellent trade in timber and the city was renamed Conroe after Isaac Conroe, a lumberman from Houston that had built the first sawmill in 1881. In 1911; however, a second devastating fire swept through the downtown area. Residents and business owners could not be kept down and Conroe, TX would once again be reborn.
