Historical Info
The area around which Cypress sits now was populated by Atakapan Indian tribes, but they soon disappeared after the appearance of German settlers in the 1840s; their heritage is most notably reflected in the names of some of the major thoroughfares of the area, such as Huffmeister and Telge Roads. General Sam Houston and his Texas Army visited the area on March 22, 1836 on the way to Harrisburg, which is now known as Houston, just days before the Battle of San Jacinto. The area was mostly rural until the 1980s, when developers began to develop the area as an alternative suburb to Katy. 

Education
Cypress is served by Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, the third largest school district in the State of Texas and one of the fastest growing in the United States.
