Along the banks of Buffalo Bayou sits the Memorial Park area, a neighborhood that is rich in history. In 1917, the United States leased a large tract of land from the well-known Hogg family, and it became Camp Logan, a sophisticated training camp for U.S. Army soldiers. Camp Logan operated as a military establishment and a charity hospital for several years before Mike and Will Hogg, sons of Texas Governor James Hogg, regained control of the land. In 1925, the City of Houston bought much of the property from them for the development of Memorial Park, a dedication to the memory of World War I soldiers. Residents of the area enjoy having a world-class 1,508-acre park practically next door, offering Houston’s first golf course, jogging, hiking and biking trails, picnic grounds, ballfields, tennis courts, a nature arboretum and more. The majority of the original homes in the area are one-stories that were built in the 1940s, but large-scale custom homes have become prevalent in recent years. The Memorial Park area’s wooded natural beauty and diverse amenities have made it one of Houston’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
