Things to do in The Woodlands

The Woodlands is a master-planned community north of Houston, founded in the 1970s by oilman and developer George Mitchell with the idea of building a city within a forest. Today its office towers and corporate campuses house chemical, energy, healthcare and professional services companies, and a major energy company’s headquarters campus lies just to the south. Hospitals, research institutions and an upscale residential base round out an economy that draws a steady stream of executives and consultants.
