Description

Bordered on its eastern shore by the 12,000-acre (4,900 ha) Lake Houston, the community contains several parks, country clubs, and golf courses, including Atascocita Country Club, Walden on Lake Houston Golf and Country Club, and Tour 18, a recreation of some of the United States' most celebrated golf holes.

Atascocita was named one of the "Best Places to Retire" by U.S. News & World Report, citing Lake Houston's boating and fishing opportunities and Atascocita's numerous golf courses.[5]

History

Atascocita's name derives from the Atascocito military outpost and subsequent road constructed by the Spanish in 1756.[6] The Atascocito Road stretched from Spanish Louisiana in the east to San Antonio in the west, connecting eastern Texas to the rest of New Spain. The Atascocito Road was a major route for American migrants moving to Texas in the 1820s and 1830s. It is unclear exactly when Atascocito shifted to Atascocita.[7]

The City of Houston annexed portions of what would become Atascocita in the 1960s, but it was de-annexed in the late 1970s.[8]

Construction in the area began in the 1970s. In the 1990s Atascocita included fifteen neighborhoods and was one of the fastest-growing developments in the Greater Houston area.[9]

In 2009 the Gadberry Group named Atascocita as one of "9 from 2009" most notable high growth areas in the United States. The 2010 census listed Atascocita's population as 65,844,[1] up from 35,757 at the 2000 census.

Atascocita has two community newspapers, The Tribune Newspaper[10] and The Atascocita Observer.

Government and infrastructure

Local and county government

The Atascocita Fire Department provides fire protection and emergency medical services.[19] The Harris County Sheriff's Office provides police services.

The Atascocita CDP is divided between Harris County Precinct 1 and Harris County Precinct 4.[20][21] As of 2022, Commissioners Rodney Ellis and Lesley Briones head the precincts, respectively.[22][23]

The CDP is served by the Harris County Sheriff's Office District II Patrol,[24] headquartered from the Humble Substation at 7900 Will Clayton Parkway in Humble.[25] The Harris County Sheriff's Office Academy is in Atascocita.[26]

The Harris County Fire Marshall's offices are in Atascocita.[27]

The Sheriff's Office opened the Atascocita boot camp, a correctional facility for county inmates, in 1991. It closed in September 2004 as the county decided that its rehabilitation value was questionable.[28] The vocational programs, once at the camp, were transferred to the Downtown area.[29]

The nearest public clinic of the Harris Health System (formerly Harris County Hospital District) is the E.A. "Squatty" Lyons clinic in Humble. The nearest public hospital is Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital in northeast Houston.[30]

State representation

Pam Lychner Unit, a Texas Department of Criminal Justice state jail for men, is located in the Atascocita CDP. The state jail, which has beds for 2,200 residents and a residential probation program with 450 beds, was named after Pam Lychner.[9][31][32]

Most of Atascocita CDP is served by Atascocita High School in Atascocita, while portions are served by Humble High School in Humble, Kingwood High School in Kingwood, and Summer Creek High School in an unincorporated area outside of Atascocita.[37]

Previously Humble High School served the Atascocita area until rapid growth in the community forced the construction of Atascocita High School in 2006. With an exterior modeled after Thomas Jefferson's iconic Monticello estate, the 435,000-square-foot (40,400 m2), $46.9 million school was built on a 100-acre (40 ha) heavily wooded parcel of land in the center of Atascocita. Since its opening, Atascocita High School has garnered an impressive list of academic accolades including being labeled a "Recognized" campus by the Texas State Board of Education in 2010.[38] All students attending the Humble Independent School District have the option to apply for admission to Quest Early College High School, a magnet high school in Atascocita.
