History
Recent growth in Katy makes it feel like a newer community, but its history runs quite deep. In 1896, James Oliver Thomas laid out the town and applied for a name through the post office. The City of Katy was officially incorporated in 1945. From its beginning, Katy was defined by growth, first because of the traffic from the trains and wagons that passed through, and today because of westward expansion from Houston.
