Whispering Oaks / Warrenton
Following the Texas War for Independence from Mexico, soldiers were given land grants to honor their service. The land that now makes up the Memorial Villages was part of land grants to John Taylor and Isaac Bunker. As the land was subdivided and sold off, much of it was purchased by German settlers. Sawmills and lumberyards sprang up in the deeply wooded area.
Memorial Drive was at that time the road bordering the village farms. Highway 90 was known as Katy Road at the time. Piney Point Road was developed in the 1900-1905 time frame as first a dirt road and then it was covered with oyster shell. Development of the Villages as they are known today began in the 1950s. For a detailed history of the area, please visit the City of Hedwig Village website.
The Memorial Villages include Bunker Hill Village, Piney Point Village, Hunters Creek Village, Hedwig Village, Hilshire Village, and Spring Valley Village. These six exclusive residential communities in the greater Memorial area are all independent municipalities.
Hedwig Village has its own independent police department. Hilshire Village and Spring Valley Village police services are provided by the Spring Valley Village Police Department. Bunker Hill Village, Piney Point Village and Hunters Creek Village have combined their resources and formed the Memorial Villages Police Department to serve their needs for police protection. Implementing their own police services allows the Villages to purchase better equipment than the larger departments can afford and guarantees faster response times because their officers are always in the neighborhood. Their Officers are also able to participate in more community activities like the House Watch program and events like DARE.
The Villages Fire Department serves all six Memorial Villages. Their Insurance Service Organization rating is an exceptional “1,” an accomplishment they are very proud of. This recognition makes every homeowner eligible to save money on their personal insurance policies.
