WELCOME TO DEER PARK, TEXAS MAP
"BIRTHPLACE OF TEXAS"

Why the "Birthplace of Texas"? Deer Park is the site where initial treaty documents securing Texas' independence from Mexico were drafted following the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836.

Deer Park has since grown into a friendly, convenient community located in southeast Harris County, only 25 minutes from downtown Houston. The rest of the country is taking notice:

· Named #10 in the U.S. by CNNMoney for most affordable places to live in 2011

· Named "Best Affordable Suburb in Texas for 2010" by Bloomberg BusinessWeek

· Named "contender" by CNNMoney for "100 Best Places to Live" in 2009 and 2011

The City enjoys a pro-business attitude, lack of a personal income tax, low tax rates, affordable real estate and close proximity to Houston, making the business climate inviting for companies of any size or type.

Deer Park provides easy access to the Houston region, Clear Lake/Bay Area and the sand and surf of Galveston Island. It is well-known for its hospitality, recognized public school system, and noted police and fire departments. It is also home to The Battleground at Deer Park Golf Course (rated #1 golf club in Houston area "Under $30" in 2009 by the Houston Chronicle), a wonderful community theatre, outdoor Olympic-sized pool, and over 150 acres of municipal parks.
