If you haven’t heard of Shenandoah’s colorful history during the Texas Revolution, its rivalry for county seat status, its being bypassed by the railroad, and its participation in the World Wars, don’t worry. Shenandoah had no history prior to the 1960s.

Shenandoah History

"Shenandoah ... is typical of the bedroom communities that have proliferated north of Houston in southern Montgomery County since the 1960s. Development of the subdivision, originally known as Shenandoah Valley, began in the late 1960s on a large tract of land on the east bank of Panther Creek just west of newly constructed I-45...
