OUR COMMUNITY
The City of Friendswood is located 3 miles west of Interstate Highway 45, mid-way between Houston and Galveston. The modern history of Friendswood, Texas goes back to a Quaker (Friends) colony established in northern Galveston County in 1895. The colony was originally a farming community of fig orchards, satsuma orange orchards, and rice fields. The people in the community were known for hard work, simple, clean living, and a deep respect for God, the family, and education. This heritage continues in the community today.
The City has recently begun a long range strategic planning effort called Vision 2020 intended to develop a guide for the remaining development of the City. The City encompasses 21 square miles and is approximately 50% developed. The current estimate is that the City will reach build out by the year 2020 with a population of 55,000. Because of the influence of the NASA facility, the population of Friendswood is highly educated and has very high expectations for the level of service being provided by the City.
