City of Katy's Image

In the beginning it was only a wide open prairie, the hunting ground of the Karankawa Indian tribes, the winter feeding grounds of great herds of buffalo and large flocks of wild ducks, geese, sandhill and whooping cranes, and numerous other game birds, and home to longhorn cattle, deer, and wolves.

Earliest settlement of the community known as Cane Island, for Cane Island Creek that runs through it, was in 1872.
