The Woodlands is a town located in Montgomery County, Texas. The Woodlands is a very wooded master-planned community about 40 miles northwest of Downtown Houston, Texas. The Woodlands was founded by George P. Mitchell, who just recently changed ownership of The Woodlands to a private developing company. The Woodlands is growing up as a formidable city, as many companies are changing their world headquarters to The Woodlands. Oil giant Anadarko built a 40-story tower near The Woodlands mall in the past year and a half. The Woodlands is located in the Conroe Independent School District, with The Woodlands High School being the primary feeder. Communities close to The Woodlands include Shenandoah and Oak Ridge North. source:
