The 1936 Harris County highway map indicated several residences in the area. Clark W. Henry owned of land on which he operated F&M Dairy and raised Jersey cattle. Henry discontinued his dairy when his health declined, and he gave the land up so a residential community could be built in 1953.〔〔"(The History of Jersey Village )." ''City of Jersey Village''. Retrieved on November 27, 2008.〕 Henry and LeRoy Kennedy, members of the Garden Oaks Baptist Church, began developing the community in February 1954. At first the city had of streets and drainage, gas, sewage, and water services. Several houses were established along Jersey Drive. The first family moved to the subdivision in late October 1954.〔 The community developed a school, a park, and an 18-hole golf course. Jersey Village incorporated on April 16, 1956, with all 58 votes in favor of incorporation and a volunteer police force.〔〔 Because of the incorporation, Houston did not incorporate Jersey Village's territory into its city limits.〔Lee, Renée C.
