HISTORICAL MARKERS
of Southeast Harris County, Tx
There are several layers of history represented
in the southeastern part of Harris County. Several historically
oriented groups have sponsored markers, including the Texas Historical
Commission (THC), the Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT)
and the State of Texas during the Centennial Year (1936 Tx marker).
The following list sets forth most of the known historical markers
and are grouped according to a generalized period of time. The
community or area where the markers are located is also noted.
A map showing their locations will be provided in the near future.
The Texas Historical Commission is working on an inventory
of the historical markers in the State of Texas. Check out their
