Originally a wide-open prairie, the land that Katy is situated on was once the feeding grounds of large buffalo herds and flocks of wild birds; home to deer, longhorn cattle, and wolves; and the hunting ground of Native Americans, the Karankawa tribe. In the mid-1800s, the earliest settlers called their community Cane Island, named for the creek that runs through the area. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (MKT, nicknamed “The Katy”) began operations through the community in 1895, the same year that James Oliver Thomas laid out and platted a townsite. In January of 1896, in appreciation for the presumed prosperity that the railroad would bring, Thomas named his new town after the railroad. The original MKT Depot has been restored, and it is a great place for visitors to go soon after they arrive in Katy, as it serves as the Information & Tourist Center! Informative brochures and maps are available here, and visitors can tour the Depot, the caboose, and railroad tracks at Katy Heritage Park. Using markers, visitors can also enjoy taking a tour of historical buildings and homes.Other interesting landmarks include Katy Veterans Memorial Museum and the Katy Heritage Museum, which exhibits historical photographs and artifacts. Katy is justifiably proud to host one of the largest school rodeos in The Lone Star State! Some of the finest rodeo professionals in the United States attend this rodeo, and the excitement continues with the parade and livestock show.
