Brief History of the Club

Meadows Place began as the Meadows Municipal Utility District, established in 1967. In 1968, the first houses were constructed.  ​In January of 1970, the first business meeting of "The Meadows Garden Club" took place. In attendance were Deanie Winstel, Janell East, Barbara Groves, Sylvia Miller, Carolyn Clear, Jan Van Buskirk, Virginia Manfrey, and Arlene Davitt.  It was at this meeting that the group decided to meet on the second Tuesday of each month, the same day the meetings continue to this day.  In 1982 the Club was incorporated under the name "Meadows Home and Garden Club."  

The City incorporated on November 14, 1983 as "The Meadows" to avoid being annexed by Houston. The City changed its name to "Meadows Place" in 2000 as requested by the US Postal Service because of its inability to distinguish us from Meadow Texas, despite the varying zip codes. The Club, however, continues to go by its name of incorporation.
