Kingwood, founded in 1969, is being developed on Lake Houston by the Friendswood Development Company, headed by John Bruton Jr. The name is derived from the King Ranch, owned and operated by Kelly King, who, at one point owned the land, as well as from the Friendswood Development Company. The master-planned community had the tagline of the "livable forest" for many years. It was annexed (controversially) by Houston in 1996.
