The Woodlands: George Mitchell's Master-Planned Experiment
The Woodlands is a large master-planned community in Montgomery County, about 30 miles north of downtown Houston, with approximately 118,000 residents across the special district. The community was planned and developed by oil and gas executive George P. Mitchell beginning in 1974, and the first residents moved in during October of that year. Mitchell's vision emphasized preservation of native pine forest, low-density development, and a pedestrian-oriented town center, and the community received federal Title VII funding as one of 14 experimental planned communities in the 1970s.
The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, an outdoor concert amphitheater opened in 1990, hosts dozens of major tours each year and is one of the busiest concert venues in the United States by annual attendance. The Woodlands Mall and the Waterway, a canal-side dining and retail district, anchor the Town Center. Anadarko Petroleum (now part of Occidental Petroleum) built its Tower downtown, and ExxonMobil's large campus in Spring sits on adjacent land.
The Woodlands remains unincorporated and is governed by The Woodlands Township, a special-purpose district that provides the services of a municipality without the tax structure. The question of formal incorporation has come up multiple times in recent elections.
The Woodlands Waterway Marriott and the Hughes Landing office and residential complex sit along the manmade waterway system. The community contains more than 220 miles of hiking and biking trails woven through preserved forest.
