The Woodlands Township - The Woodlands, TX
The Woodlands Township is a special-purpose local government serving one of the most recognized master-planned communities in the United States. Located approximately 27 miles north of downtown Houston, The Woodlands was founded in 1974 by visionary oilman and developer George P. Mitchell. His idea was simple but bold: create a community where residents could live, work, play and learn in harmony with nature.
