Conroe is a city in and the county seat of Montgomery County, Texas, United States, about 40 miles (64 km) north of Houston. It is a principal city in the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metropolitan area.[6]
As of 2023, the population was 103,035.[7] Since 2007, the city has increased in size (and population) by annexation, with the city territory expanding from 52.8 to 74.4 square miles. Some communities have attempted to fight such annexation. According to the Census Bureau, Conroe was the fastest-growing large city in the United States between July 1, 2015, and July 1, 2016.[3]
The city is named after Isaac Conroe. Born in the North, he served as a Union Cavalry officer and settled in Houston after the Civil War. There he became a lumberman.[8] Conroe founded a sawmill in this area in 1881.[8] The community built its early economy and wealth on the lumber industry. Originally named "Conroe's Switch",[8] the community received an influx of workers and residents in the late 19th century who were attracted to the growth of the lumber industry, which harvested the local piney wood forest.[8]
In 1886, Conroe Mill School was established in the expanding town. Conroe Normal and Industrial College, a school for African Americans, served the area.
Six lynchings were recorded in Montgomery County around the turn of the century, and some suspects were lynched at the courthouse in Conroe. In 1922, a young black man named Joe Winters was lynched, burned alive on the courthouse square for allegedly attacking a young white woman.[9] Within the black community, it was known he was in a consensual relationship with the woman, who denied it when they were discovered.
In 1941 Bob White was shot to death in the courthouse, during his third trial. The African-American man was arrested in 1936 on charges of assaulting a white woman in Livingston, Texas. (Alternative accounts in the black community said they had a standing consensual relationship.) He was first tried there, before an all-white jury. They convicted him. The case was appealed with the help of the NAACP in Houston because he had not been given a lawyer or been able to contact family, and he was tortured in interrogation. The second trial was held in Conroe for a change of venue. Another all-white jury convicted White again. The case reached the United States Supreme Court on appeal, which had just ruled that coerced confessions were unconstitutional and remanded the case to the lower court for trial. During the proceedings in the courtroom, in front of the judge and numerous witnesses, the husband of the alleged victim shot White in the back of the head and immediately killed him. The husband was arrested and tried the following week, and was acquitted.
In 1931 George W. Strake discovered the Conroe Oil Field. Distillate and natural gas were produced from the Cockfield Formation at a depth of about 5,000 feet (1,500 m). cA second well in 1932 produced 1200 BOPD. By 1935, the field had produced 40 million barrels of oil.[10][11]
During the 1930s, because of oil profits, the city briefly boasted more millionaires per capita than any other U.S. city.[8] After the construction of Interstate 45 in the postwar period improved automobile access, many Houstonians began to follow the highway to new suburban communities that developed around Conroe.[8]
The Office of Management and Budget classifies Conroe as a principal city within the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metropolitan area.[12] The city is about 40 miles (64 km) north of Houston.[13]
When Conroe incorporated in 1904, the city limits encompassed a 5.44 square mile area. From 1970 to 2000, the city limits expanded from 7.15 square miles to 42.35 square miles.[14] Beginning in 2007, the city outlined a plan to continue expanding its city limits through annexation.[15] According to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government Code, home rule municipalities like Conroe may annex territory that is adjacent to the city's current boundaries, with certain restrictions.[16] The city's 2007 plan projected doubling its size through a combination of voluntary and involuntary annexations.[15] As of 2022, the city has annexed territory every year since 2007, increasing the city limits from 52.8 to 77.5 square miles.[17][18][19]
In April 2015, residents of the gated community of April Sound filed a lawsuit against Conroe after their community was annexed on January 1, 2015. The lawsuit was dismissed in March 2017.[17][20] Involuntary annexations were a major issue in the 2016 mayoral election, the first after April Sound residents were incorporated into the city. Proponents of annexation contended that it was a useful tool to "promote and facilitate growth and progress," while those in opposition were concerned about whether annexed territories receive a "fair shake" in the negotiations.[21] In 2017, the city council voted in favor of additional involuntary annexations.[22]
Conroe is in the southwest corner of the East Texas Piney Woods.[23] The Piney Woods consist of pine trees and hardwood forests. The most common type of tree in the southwest Piney Woods is the loblolly pine. Shortleaf pine are also abundant.[24] Pockets of blackland prairie vegetation are also present, but are disappearing due to urbanization.[25]
In 1926, the Texas A&M Forest Service purchased 1700 acres of Piney Woods to establish W. Goodrich Jones State Forest. The forest serves as a research and demonstration area for sustainable forestry techniques. The forest also preserves the habitat of the red-cockaded woodpecker, a species classified in the early 21st century as Near Threatened by the IUCN.[26][27]
In 2017, Texas A&M asked Conroe state senator Brandon Creighton to author a bill setting aside 10 percent of the forest for educational and research-related development. The bill also opened the possibility of commercial development on the land.[28] Public concern over the bill persuaded Creighton to revise it. The final version, which passed the Senate unanimously, protected the entire forest from development.[29]
The West Fork of the San Jacinto River flows through the western edge of Conroe. The entire city is within the river's watershed.[30] The river flows southeast from Lake Conroe, a 19,640 surface acre lake created by a dam in 1973 to establish an alternative source of drinking water for Houston.[31]
Conroe developed over several geologic layers of underground aquifers, which supply the city with fresh drinking water.[32] Due to rapid development in this area, and the increased population of Conroe and the surrounding area, the groundwater supply is being withdrawn faster than it can be replenished.[33] As a result, the Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District, which oversees groundwater usage in Montgomery County, mandated that Conroe reduce its groundwater usage by 30 percent of 2009 amounts by January 1, 2016.[34] As part of the groundwater usage reduction plan, the San Jacinto River Authority began in September 2015 to supplement Conroe's groundwater supply with surface water pumped from Lake Conroe.[31] The SJRA charges the city usage fees to cover the cost of pumping and treating the water.[35]
On August 27, 2015, the City of Conroe filed a lawsuit against the Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District, claiming that the LSGCD did not have the authority to limit the city's groundwater usage.[34] The city also refused to pay SJRA water usage fee increases in 2016, resulting in a separate lawsuit filed by the SJRA against the city.[35] The LSGCD and Conroe reached a settlement agreement in January 2019.[36] The SJRA case was dismissed in June 2020.[37]
Parts of Conroe surrounding the West Fork of the San Jacinto River are in a floodplain.[38] Significant flooding occurs along the floodplain when rainfall exceeds nine inches in a 48-hour period. The Conroe area has approximately a 10 percent chance of receiving this much rainfall in any given year.[25] Urban development in Conroe and the surrounding area has also exacerbated the risk of flooding.[39] Montgomery County had 500-year floods in three successive years, in May 2015, April 2016, and August 2017.[40] A 500-year flood has a 0.2 percent chance of occurring in a year.[25] In addition, a fourth major flood occurred in May 2016, resulting in two major floods in two months.[39]
The flooding in August 2017 took place during Hurricane Harvey, when nearly 32 inches of rain fell on the city.[41] To protect the integrity of the dam, San Jacinto River Authority officials released 79,100 cubic feet per second of water from Lake Conroe downstream into the West Fork of the San Jacinto River, exacerbating flooding already taking place in the floodplain.[40] Conroe city officials ordered a mandatory evacuation of McDade Estates, a neighborhood on the banks of the river.[41][42] As a response to the flooding, Montgomery County commissioners in October 2017 requested $1.25 million from the federal government for a flood mitigation study, along with an additional $95.5 million to implement various flood mitigation projects.[40]

During the first decade of the 21st century, the city attracted many new residents from the Houston area. Renée C. Lee said that Conroe around 2002 was "a sleepy, backwater town" and that at the time, Conroe city officials needed to use financial incentives to attract home developers to Conroe. Between 2003 and 2006, Conroe became a hotbed of construction of new houses.[45] As a result, Conroe's population grew from 36,811 in 2000 to 56,207 in 2010.

Between 2014 and 2015, Conroe was the sixth fastest growing city in the United States.[50] The following year, the US Census Bureau reported that Conroe was the fastest-growing large city in the United States. It had a 7.8% growth rate between 2015 and 2016.[3][51] New housing developments throughout the city have contributed to the rapid population growth.[50] Conroe's annexation of growing communities within its extraterritorial jurisdiction has also contributed to its growth.[17]
The racial makeup of the city was 69.7% White (including Hispanic), 10.3% African American, 1.2% Native American, 1.8% Asian, less than 0.05% Pacific Islander, 13.7% from other races, and 3.2% from two or more races.

Downtown Conroe's Central Business District[18] hosts multiple arts venues. The oldest is the Crighton Theatre, which opened on November 26, 1935. The theatre is named after Harry M. Crighton, Conroe's mayor from 1932 to 1933. The theatre functioned as the community's movie theatre until 1967, at which point it fell into disrepair. In 1979 it was renovated, and it now hosts live theatrical productions.[55] Another theatre, the Owen Theatre, is also located in the district.[56] The Central Business District has outdoor performance venues at Conroe Founder's Plaza and Heritage Place, which host multiple festivals throughout the year.[57]

The competition, founded in 1983, showcases young musicians who aspire to careers in classical music.[60] In 2009, the city sponsored the Art Bench Project, which converted 13 stone benches scattered throughout the central business district into works of art. Each bench portrays a different part of Conroe's history and culture, from historical figures like George Strake and Charles B. Stewart to contemporary art groups such as the Crighton Players.[61]

A moving company, also known as a removalist or van line, is a company specializes in assisting individuals and businesses with relocating their goods from one location to another. Moving companies may offer additional or all-inclusive services for relocations, like packing, loading, moving, unloading, unpacking, and arranging of items to be shifted. Additional services may include cleaning services for houses, offices or warehousing facilities.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2007, 40 million United States citizens had moved annually over the previous decade.[1] Of these movers, 84.5% relocated within their own state, 12.5% moved to another state, and 2.3% moved to another country.[2]
The U.S. Department of Defense is the largest household goods shipper in the world with the Personal Property Program accounting for 20% of all moves.[3]
A 2020 OnePoll survey showed that 64% of participants consider their recent move to be one of the most stressful events they have ever encountered.[4]
In the U.S. and Canada, the cost for long-distance moves is generally determined by several factors:
Some movers also offer consolidated shipping, which reduces costs by transporting several clients' items in the same shipment.
In the United Kingdom and Australia, the price is based on the volume of the items rather than their weight.[5] Some movers may offer flat rate pricing.
The use of truck rental services, or simply borrowing similar hardware, is referred to as DIY moving. Individuals or families may rent a truck or trailer large enough to transport their household goods. They may also acquire moving equipment such as dollies, furniture pads, and cargo belts to facilitate the move and protect their belongings.
The moving process also involves finding or buying materials such as boxes, paper, tape, and bubble wrap with which to pack boxable and/or protect fragile household goods and to consolidate the carrying and stacking on moving day. Self-service moving companies offer another viable option: the person moving buys space on one or more trailers or shipping containers. These containers are then driven by professionals to the new location.

I recently had the pleasure of using Loves Pro Moving for both a residential and commercial move, and I can’t recommend them enough! Josh and his team provided outstanding service on both occasions, handling all my belongings with care and professionalism. For my residential move, Josh coordinated everything smoothly, from packing to unloading, ensuring a stress-free experience. When it came to my commercial move, his expertise truly shined. He managed the logistics efficiently, keeping downtime to a minimum so I could get back to business quickly. If you’re looking for a reliable moving company that excels in both residential and commercial moving services, this is the team to trust. Josh’s attention to detail, timeliness, and commitment to customer satisfaction make Loves Pro Moving a top choice in the industry. Five stars all around!
Our family has moved across states and around the globe. We have had big corporate movers and small local ones. Without a doubt Josh and his team at Love’s was the most attentive and professional moving company we’ve ever had the privilege of working with. They genuinely wrapped everything as if it was their own house, taking extra care for fragile or high value items. We moved from Texas to Georgia without a single lost or broken item!! I would recommend them for anyone looking to live even a short distance and we will absolutely use them again if ever the need arises!
I needed to move our Yamaha Grand Piano. The moving company that I hired to move our furniture attempted to move it. The men that showed up saved the piano for last. They were very nervous and told me they had never moved a piano and their training was a YouTube video. I told them to stop and thanked them for admitting their lack of training. I searched for a company with piano moving experienced professionals. I choose Love’s by reading reviews. I made a good choice. Josh recorded all the information and made suggestions concerning the move. He scheduled the move with Mayowa and his team. These gentlemen kept me informed before the move about the arrival time. The traffic was heavy when the pick up was scheduled and Mayowa sent me a text with his ETA as soon as he knew he was going to be 15 minutes late. Mayowa arrived with the correct piano board and his crew immediately started the process of protecting my floors followed by the piano. They had ample supplies to wrap my piano with blankets and straps to secure it to the board. The move was painless. Mayowa and his team were very professional and courteous. I will definitely use them again!
I used Love's Pro Moving last Friday, 9/20. Although pricier than what I planned on spending for my move, it was well worth it!! I paid for 4 workers (3 males 1 female) and they were an excellent team!! I had an entire master suite full of "mirrored" furniture and they made sure to wrap all items with care. This crew was very efficient and fast. They even finished an hour early which saved me a little money. I would highly recommend this moving company and will be using them again for my final move in 3 years. Thanks so much!! Sadie💕
Josh came out for an in person evaluation and biding quote which seems to be so rare these days! He was professional and friendly and followed up with timeline and expectations for every detail regarding our out of state move. His driver Guillermo who was also one of the movers on both sides (pickup and delivery) was top notch and the other movers in TX and in TN were hard working and professional as well. The entire process went smoothly and on schedule, no surprises and the price was accurate as well. I have moved over 10 times in my life and the moving experience has always been mediocre at best until this move. The team made it painless and worry free. Nothing was lost or broken either and we had A LOT of glass and mirrored furniture. Love’s Pro Moving is the only company I whole heartedly recommend! We need more honest and hard working people like them in the moving industry! Thanks a lot Josh and team!
How much does it cost to build a 2,000 square foot home in Texas? It costs about $132 per square foot to build a house in Texas. So, you would have to spend $264,000 to build a 2,000-square-foot home in Texas. These costs will vary depending on the exact location, property type, labor costs, material costs, etc. Nov 20, 2024
Second "The Hourly Rate Move" This price can average between $80 to $250 per hour for a 2 to 3 man crew, depending on which moving company you choose.
Food & Drinks Some people prefer to purchase the moving crew lunch as their only “tip”, while others provide a monetary tip in addition to lunch! It's important to note that if you do plan on providing lunch, be sure to provide them with a few different food choice options, rather than just assuming one or the other.
