The History
How Missouri City came to be.
The story behind this city, in plain language, as the Sharcom Realty Group team tells it to buyers who are just starting their search. Dates and figures are approximate and drawn from public histories; verify specifics before you rely on them.
Missouri City was founded in 1890 when Houston investors laid out a townsite along the railroad and advertised homesteads to settlers in St. Louis, Missouri, which gave the town its name. It incorporated in 1956, largely to protect itself from Houston's annexation.
The San Jacinto River skirts its east side, and the city has grown steadily west and south into Fort Bend County, where master-planned communities like Sienna and Riverstone anchor the modern market.
