Get to Know League City

Situated right in between Houston and Galveston, League City is a waterfront town with plenty to do and an easy commute to either city. League City is a nice mix of the old and the new, befitting a town that has more than 150 years of history, but that has grown in recent decades to become Galveston County’s largest city. In many ways, the development of League City is the story of Texas itself: Starting in the mid-1800s, a few families began to settle in the area, thanks to the completion of the railroad, which added League City as a stop in 1859. The town then grew slowly, picking up when NASA built the Johnson Space Center, in nearby Clear Lake, in 1963. In the 2000s, League City exploded in growth as families began moving here in droves, thanks to its affordable cost of living and laid-back lifestyle.

Living in Greater Houston

Like all of Texas, Greater Houston’s history is the story of oil, with suburban towns developed by and for gas and oil executives, with Houston’s Energy Corridor remaining a major employer today. The suburbs of Houston stretch in all directions, from Kingwood, technically inside the city limits, all the way up to and beyond The Woodlands, whose growth and prominence has earned it its own identity, separate from H-Town. These suburbs are young metropolises — towns that grew out of farmland and forest in the past 50 years, with houses, office parks, newly created lakes, and golf courses emerging from rural lands where only cows and feral pigs once roamed. As Houston’s economy has diversified and as the region has created more new jobs, Houston residents have looked farther and farther out for more space to settle. Greater Houston is booming and there’s no better place to call home.
