History

Katy Texas Map

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.

 

What Makes Katy Special?

What is it that makes Katy so special? Is it just the effect of the expansion of Houston causing the city’s growth, or is it something more?

One of Katy’s biggest assets is its outstanding school system. In 2013 the Katy Independent School District earned the highest possible rating on the Texas Education Agency’s accountability system. A full 15 out of the 16 Cinco Ranch schools receive an Exemplary rating for their educational programming. Add to this a newly developed shopping area and population growth due to the growing energy business, and you have a highly desirable community.
