Wikipedia says:
The Woodlands (The Woodlands Township) is a Local Governmental District and large master-planned community of Montgomery and Harris counties in the U.S. state of Texas within the metropolitan area. As of the 2000 census, the CDP had a total population of 55,649. Much of the development is located in the city of Houston's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), but small portions of The Woodlands extends into the ETJ of Shenandoah and Conroe. Plans for annexation of both the Houston and Conroe portions were once in discussion, but regional agreements have been set in place to allow The Woodlands to incorporate itself.
The Woodlands is located about 25 miles north of downtown Houston along Interstate 45. Though it is mostly a suburban development and a bedroom community, it also has attracted corporations to the area. As a result, the area features several corporate campuses, most notably Chevron Phillips, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Baker Hughes, CB&I, and Hewitt Associates. The development won a Special Award for Excellence in 1994 from the Urban Land Institute.
In addition to residential and corporate housing, The Woodlands features a shopping mall, seven golf courses and The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, a regional concert venue. (...) more....
