It’s not just the magnolia trees that have earned Magnolia the reputation of a scenic Texas city.
Magnolia also offers a historic depot, a charming downtown area, and a welcoming small-town atmosphere. Just about three miles from Sugar Land, 17 miles to The Woodlands and 43 miles northwest of Houston, Magnolia is located in Montgomery County, one of the fastest-growing areas in the state.
Once a sleepy sawmill town and shipping center known as Mink Prairie after one of the early settlers, it now has a population of more than 2,100 and annually draws thousands to the nearby Texas Renaissance Festival. Here, residents enjoy tree-lined streets, beautiful lakes, trails, wildlife preserve areas and dense pine forests. It’s one of the most diverse and family-friendly suburbs in Texas, with affordable housing, plenty of community events and top-rated schools.
