History of the city of Conroe Texas
Conroe, Texas In 1881, Houston lumberman Isaac Conroe established a sawmill on
Stewart?s Creek two miles east of the International-Great Northern Railroad?s
Houston-Crockett line on a tract of land in the J. Smith survey, first settled in the
late 1830's. A small tram line connected the mill to the track, but Conroe soon
transferred his operations down the tracks to the rail junction, where his new mill
became a station on the I-GN. In January 1884, a post office was established at the
mill commissary. At the suggestion of railroad official H.M. Hoxey, the community
took the name Conroe's Switch, in honor of the Northern-born, former Union
cavalry officer who founded it and served as its first postmaster. Within a decade,
the name was shortened to Conroe.
