City of Jersey Village

About Us

Jersey Village offers a small town lifestyle and quality of life adjacent to the Houston Metropolitan Area. Residents enjoy an exceptional lifestyle and sense of community with ready access to Houston and all its metropolitan amenities. Located on Highway 290 at Beltway 8, Jersey Village is only 21 miles northwest of Houston’s Central Business District.
Although it abuts the City of Houston on its eastern boundary, Jersey Village is the lone incorporated city in the Cypress Fairbanks region, mostly comprised of unincorporated Harris County and served by the Cy-Fair Independent School District.
Jersey Village is situated on land that formerly comprised the 1,236 acre F&M Dairy. The dairy was stocked with Jersey dairy cattle and at one time had one of the largest and best herds of Jersey cattle in the world. The first family moved into the community in 1954, and an election to incorporate Jersey Village passed unanimously with 58 votes in April 1956. Today the City has several great parks and green spaces including Jersey Meadow Golf Club.
The city is working on a 43-acre mixed use development that will be a game changer. Town Center will be a new economic center welcoming a wide variety of residents, workers and visitors of all ages and diverse cultures. It will create a live, learn, work and play mix-use that will include improvements to streets, pedestrian sidewalks, lighting, water features, green spaces, parks and trails. Recently a Market and Financial Feasibility Study was completed for a multi-purpose baseball stadium that could be a part of this development.
