cynative Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 This is great. I love to read the history of this area. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Interesting - helps explain some of the names/areas up there (Strack, Hufsmith, etc).It's also kinda of neat to look at some of the changes to the areas on the Harris County block book maps - like the Delesdernier land eventually became the Wimbledon Estates, Cypresswood, Northwood Farms, and Terranova/Oaks of Terranova neighborhoods..

mrfootball Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Outstanding link! Thanks for sharing. Having grown up in the area, I went to school with a number of kids with those last names mentioned in that article.
