Spring Valley Village is a city in Harris County, Texas, United States, and an enclave of Houston. The population was 3,715 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Profile of General Population and Housing Characteristics: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (DP-1): Spring Valley Village city, Texas )〕 ==History== In 1936 state highway maps indicated a cemetery and a church. Initially the settlement consisted of one and one-half square miles. In the mid-1950s, effort to form a Spring Branch municipality (proposed to be called the city of Spring Branch in roughly the area known today as the Memorial Villages) failed. The city incorporated in 1955 as Spring Valley.〔 There had been two elections for incorporation. The first result was against incorporation, and state law mandated that the next election for incorporation of the same boundary would have to be held at least one year later. Some advocates of incorporation convinced Robert R. Casey, then a Harris county judge, to modify the boundary of the proposed area by removing the Campbell Place area and therefore many voters who opposed incorporating. The following election, held on April 9, 1955, was in favor of incorporation, 183 for and 165 against.〔Meeks, Flori.

"And so the boundary lines were changed by eliminating Campbell Place, which lies north of Briar Branch Creek, east of Adkins Road, and west of Campbell Road. This eliminated a good many voters who were against incorporation."〕 Because of the 1955 incorporation, Houston did not incorporate Spring Valley's territory into its city limits, while Houston annexed surrounding areas that were unincorporated.〔Lee, Renée C.

The city had 3,800 residents in 1976 and 3,392 residents in 1990.〔 In 2007, the name of the city was officially changed from Spring Valley to Spring Valley Village.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spring Valley changes its name )〕 Regardless of the name change, all postal addresses in Spring Valley Village are Houston-based.〔http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown_zip.jsp〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spring Valley Village, Texas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
