River Plantation, Texas
River Plantation is an unincorporated community in Montgomery County, Texas. It is located along the banks of the San Jacinto River,〔Isensee, Laura. "(River Plantation community continues to attract residents )." ''Houston Chronicle''. April 18, 2007. Retrieved on November 27, 2011.〕 south of Conroe. The lower reaches of the community were developed in the late 1960s.〔Nichols, Bruce. "(RETREATING FROM THE RIVER Home developers deny ignoring flood warnings )." ''The Dallas Morning News''. March 12, 1995. Retrieved on November 27, 2011. "That was in River Plantation subdivision about six miles south of Conroe along with San Jacinto River."〕 As of 2007 it has 1,200 houses and about 3,000 residents.〔 Mike Drago of the ''Austin American-Statesman'' said in 1994 that River Plantation was "upscale."〔Drago, Mike. "6 die as rain inundates Southeast Texas - Thousands forced to evacuate; 16 counties declared disaster areas." ''Austin American-Statesman''. Tuesday October 18, 1994. Retrieved on November 27, 2011.〕
==History==
The lower reaches of the community were developed in the late 1960s. Russell Thompson, a man who filed a class action lawsuit against the developers in 1985, said that they developed the section even though they knew it could flood.〔Nichols, Bruce. "(RETREATING FROM THE RIVER Home developers deny ignoring flood warnings )." ''The Dallas Morning News''. Sunday March 12, 1995. Home & Final Edition. Texas & Southwest 45A. Retrieved on November 27, 2011. "That was in River Plantation subdivision about six miles south of Conroe along with San Jacinto River."〕
In 1994 a flood affected the community.〔 A deluge of rain across Southeast Texas caused flooding in several communities. Water from the San Jacinto River flooded houses and vehicles. Throughout the state, six died from the flooding.〔 At the time of the 1994 flood, 110 houses were located on the 100-year flood plain. The Federal Government of the United States bought and razed twenty of them; the Gwen Hruska Park is located where the former houses stood. 1,000 of the houses did not flood in 1994.〔
In 2007 Laura Isensee of the ''Houston Chronicle'' said "Since the flood, the 40-year-old community with about 3,000 residents has more than rebounded. It's flourished."〔 An overpass to Interstate 45 had opened before April 18, 2007. Isensee said that the overpass made River Plantation a more attractive community.〔
