Katy, Texas
In the beginning, it was only a wide open prairie, the hunting ground of the Karankawa Indian tribes, the winter feeding grounds of great herds of buffalo and large flocks of wild ducks, geese, sandhill, and whooping cranes, and numerous other game birds, and home to longhorn cattle, deer, and wolves.
Earliest settlement of the community known as Cane Island, for Cane Island Creek that runs through it, was in 1872.
The Katy Independent School District, or ISD, is one of the best school districts in greater Houston. The growing number of schools is designed to cater to the increasing student population, and with superior facilities and teaching methods, the educational experience is very hands-on and innovative.
