Biohazard Cleanup Near Ranch Crest Stagecoach, TX

Stagecoach is a small town in southwestern Montgomery County, Texas, on the heavily wooded east bank of Sulphur Creek between Tomball and Magnolia, about 40 miles northwest of downtown Houston.

Stagecoach owes its name to a nineteenth-century stagecoach route that passed through the area, where the community began as a stop on the line.

Part of the land under Stagecoach traces to an 1847 Republic-era land grant to Thomas J. Stansbury, and the site was later a farm owned by W. L. Swinley.

The Stagecoach Farms residential development was established in 1958, and its developers chose the name to honor the old stagecoach line and the small farms that once dotted the area.

Stagecoach residents formed a civic club in the 1960s, chose their first mayor in 1974, and had built 108 permanent and vacation residences by 1980, the year the town incorporated under the name Stagecoach.

Stagecoach had just 340 residents in 1990 and 455 in 2000.

Stagecoach grew to 538 people living in 155 households at the 2010 census, and reached 580 residents in the 2020 census.

Stagecoach covers about 1.2 square miles, and its street names — including Boot Hill — reflect the town's Old West stagecoach heritage.
