About Acres Homes
Acres Homes is a historically Black community in northwest Houston with its own Harris County historical marker.
- The first subdivisions were platted in 1910 by land developer Alfred A. Wright, selling parcels to residents drawn by cheap land and low taxes.
- The area was annexed by Houston gradually: sources give 1967 for the start, and the state marker and a Texas Senate resolution describe annexation running from 1967 to 1974.
- A City of Houston planning profile ties water and sewer service in the original subdivisions to the 1970s annexation period.
- Addresses in the area fall in ZIP codes including 77088 and 77091.
