A friend sent me this article about Houston neighborhoods got their names. As a native Houstonian, it was fascinating to read the history of how the neighborhoods we live in got their names. I knew the Memorial Villages were at one time ranchettes-5-20 acres mini ranches so the residents that lived in the city would have a country place on the weekends. Kinkaid purchased the last ranchette in 2014! It was the property adjoining the school. I hope you enjoy this little history lesson.
