==History==
The Sienna Plantation subdivision is on land that previously operated as a sugar and cotton plantation. Purchased in 1840 by South Carolina planter Jonathan D. Waters, the tract included a wharf along the Brazos River. In 1872, Houston businessman Thomas W. House purchased the property, followed by Houston mayor Thomas H. Scanlan in 1913. Scanlan's heirs' estate entrusted the property to the Scanlan Foundation, which benefited the Houston Catholic diocese. From the 1950s until 1972, the diocese operated the Cenacle Retreat on the land under the direction of the Cenacle Sisters. They chose the name Sienna Plantation in honor of the Siena area of Tuscany in Italy.
In the 1970s developer Larry Johnson founded the Johnson Development Corporation and in 1978 began development of the project. In the mid-1980s the Johnson Corporation began construction of single family homes, roads, and a ten-mile-long levee for flood protection.〔Laurie E. Jasinski, ("SIENNA PLANTATION, TX )."

The developer refocused his efforts in 1994.〔 The development of Sienna Plantation was organized by Tan Yu, a billionaire developer from the Philippines who, in 1997, was based in Taiwan.〔Stromberg, Laura A. "(Arena Towers find buyer )." ''Houston Business Journal''. Friday July 25, 1997. Retrieved on April 24, 2010.〕 In 2009 5,000 of the 5,200 houses in Sienna Plantation were occupied.〔
