Welcome to League City, Texas!
History of League City, Texas
League City is a city in Galveston County and Harris County in the U.S. state of Texas, within the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown
metropolitan area. As of the 2000 U.S. Census, the city population was 45,444; in the 2006 census estimate, the population was
listed as 67,200. The city has a small portion north of Clear Creek within Harris County, Texas zoned for residential and
commercial uses. League City is home to several water-side resorts used by people from nearby Houston.
League City surpassed Galveston as Galveston County's largest city between 2000 and 2005.
League City was settled at the former site of a Karankawa Indian village. Three families, the Butlers, Cowarts, and Perkinses, are
considered to be founding families of the city. The Cowart family settled on a creek now called Cowart's Creek after them (now
often called "Coward's Creek"). The Perkins family built on a creek notably lined with magnolia trees, and named it Magnolia
Bayou. The Butler family settled inland.
The first resident of the town proper, George W. Butler, arrived from Louisiana in 1873 and settled at the junction of Clear Creek
and Chigger Bayou. The area was known as Butler's Ranch or Clear Creek until J. C. League acquired the land from a man
named Muldoon on his entering the priesthood. League laid out his town site on Galveston, Houston, and Henderson Railroad,
already established in the area. This began a small feud over the name, as Butler was the postmaster. The name was changed
several times, alternating between Clear Creek and the new League City. In the end, League City was chosen.
In 1907, League had two railroad flatcars of live oak trees left by the railroad tracks. These were for the residents to plant on their
property. Butler and his son Milby supervised the planting of these trees, now known as the Butler Oaks. Many of them line Main
Street to this day.[citation needed]
In the 2000s, rising real estate costs in Galveston forced many families to move to other areas, including League City. This meant
an influx of children out of Galveston ISD and into other school districts like Clear Creek ISD and Dickinson ISD
