Montgomery lies nestled among the magnolia and sweet gum trees on Highway 105. This tiny gateway to the Piney Woods region is an important part of Texas. In 1823, Andrew J. Montgomery established a trading post a few miles to the west of the current town site. One December 14, 1837, the town named for Andrew Montgomery became the first county seat of Montgomery County and the third county formed under the Republic of Texas.

A stroll through the historic nineteenth-century downtown area, which includes two chapels and several other historic buildings, takes visitors back in time.

In 1839, it was the birthplace of the official state flag, whose bold design represents the loyalty, purity and bravery of early Texas settlers. A replica of the original flag design, sketched by Montgomery postmaster and pharmacist, Dr. Charles Bellinger Stewart, is on display at the N.H. Davis Pioneer Complex and Museum.

This picturesque area just 15 miles west of Conroe and 50 miles northwest of Houston has combined historical integrity with modern appeal to become the thirty-sixth fastest-growing county in the United States. New planned development within the city, offers city living with countryside ambience. Close by are local business professionals that provide personal, friendly, hometown services to meet your family’s needs.

The area’s natural beauty and proximity to Lake Conroe and the Sam Houston National Forest offer great opportunities for relaxation and adventure. RV camping grounds, scrapbooking retreat facilities, and a lovely bed and breakfast offer convenient over-night accommodations. A variety of special events are planned throughout the year.

Stroll through the quiet streets, filled with history and small town charm, and you might just decide, like others have, that Montgomery is not only a great place to visit, but also to live!
