By 1850 Montgomery was growing rapidly.
Expensive houses were being built. But the Civil War stopped all expansion in
Montgomery. But by the 1900's Montgomery was alive and booming again. Multiple
businesses started up in Montgomery by that time, including hotels, cotton gins, doctors and lawyers.
After the county seat moved to Conroe
and rail roads started skipping Montgomery, the town went back to being "small".
Now the town is just a drive-by town with a lot of history...and we love it that way!
