History
in a Pecan Shell
The town was originally named after a local family
and built along the rails of the International–Great Northern Railroad. Aldine
had a post office from 1896 through 1935 when it merged with service from Houston.
In 1914 Aldine's business interests included fig-growing, dairy production and
poultry raising. In 1925 Aldine had reached a population of 100 but declined to
a mere 30-40 residents through the 30s and 40s. Then, in the 70s, the population
growth increased at the same rate as Houston's and by the mid 80s it was up to
12,623.
Aldine is one of many Texas towns to benefit from its proximity
to a large city - at the cost of losing its individual identity.
