Hedwig Village is a city in Harris County, Texas, United States. The population was 2,557 at the 2010 census.

==History==
The Spring Branch Memorial area was originally settled by German immigrants in the 19th century. Hedwig Village's name originates from Hedwig Road, which was built on the property of Hedwig Jankowski Schroeder; Schroeder emigrated from Germany to Texas in 1906 to help her sister operate a business in Houston. There she met, and married, Henry Schroeder, son of Jacob Schroeder one of the area's earliest immigrants. They established their home and farmed in the area now Hedwig Village 〔http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Hedwig_Jankowski_(1)〕
In the mid 1950s, effort to form a Spring Branch municipality failed. Hedwig Village was incorporated on December 23, 1954 and established a zoning ordinance in 1955. Because of the 1955 incorporation, Houston did not incorporate Hedwig Village's territory into its city limits, while Houston annexed surrounding areas that were unincorporated.〔Lee, Renée C. "(Annexed Kingwood split on effects )." ''Houston Chronicle''. Sunday October 8, 2006. A21. Retrieved on July 6, 2011. "Some of the area communities that incorporated as cities and escaped annexation by Houston:" Print version exclusively has the information cited; the information is ''not'' included in the online edition.〕 Hedwig Village incorporated because residents feared that Houston would annex them. Around 1963, residents of Hedwig Villages and other Memorial villages wanted what Gia Gustilo of the ''Houston Chronicle'' referred to as "a more country-like atmosphere within close proximity to Houston."〔Gustilo, Gia. "(WHAT'S IN A NAME / Hedwig Village emerges from donated farm land )." ''Houston Chronicle''. Thursday April 25, 2002. ThisWeek 7. Retrieved on October 13, 2012.〕 Laverne Coller, a resident quoted in the ''Houston Chronicle'' who moved to Hedwig Village in 1963, was paraphrased by Gustilo as "Hedwig Village is unique among the villages in that it was the only municipality to accept the existing commercial sector, which was quite a bonus to the city's revenues."〔
In 1960 the city had 1,182 residents. By 1966 the community had two schools, one library, and two churches. By 1970 the city had 3,255 residents, and in 1971 the city completed a park. The city had 3,994 residents in 1980 and 2,616 in 1990.〔 Coller said in 2003 that many children of early Hedwig Village residents had begun to settle the Hedwig Village area.〔 In 2003 Coller, as paraphrased by Gustilo, said "Despite the changes, several of her old neighbors remain and the camaraderie with new residents is good."〔
As of 2014, Hedwig Village is still not considered to be within Houston proper.
