A short history of Grangerland
GRANGERLAND, TEXAS. Grangerland is located on Farm Road 3083 about
thirty miles north of Houston and ten miles southeast of Conroe in
east central Montgomery County. In the early 1900s settlers in this
region farmed cotton and, with limited lumber production, utilized
the area's timber resources. The first successful oil well in late
1931 ushered in an oil boom and resulted in the opening of the Conroe
Oilfield.qv In 1932 early settler and landowner Don D. Granger began
constructing thirty-two houses to serve the influx of oil field workers.
This growing development was named Granger's Camp. Over the years
a network of paved roads also facilitated growth, and as more workers
and oil companies came into the area the camp grew to include a store,
community center, and several churches in the 1940s and 1950s. The
town became known as Grangerland, and though the boom settled down
the oil industry as well as a timber industry continued to support
the community. In the 1970s and 1980s the construction of several
subdivisions signified Grangerland's role as a bedroom community for
commuters to Houston and Conroe. Residents considered incorporation
but apparently never pursued the matter. No population estimates were
available in 1990 or 2000.
