The Woodlands was dedicated by George P. Mitchell in 1974, managed by The Woodlands Corporation as an extension of Mitchell Energy & Development. Mitchell, an oil businessman, planned to establish a conference center, hotels, office parks, retail malls, schools, large distribution centers, and golf courses.
The Woodlands offers many entertainment venues including two movie theaters,
over 150 restaurants, a publicly accessible waterway, and dancing waterfalls
with music. Also featured is the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, summer home of
the Houston Symphony and catering to many large acts (rock bands to classical).
The Woodlands Waterway will eventually be more than 1/2 mile long, reaching from
The Woodlands Mall around to Lake Woodlands and
featuring wide, lighted sidewalks along both sides and Waterway Taxis.
Additional attractions include Market Street, an old style "Main Street"
pedestrian shopping district, home to a movie theater and a variety of shops and
restaurants. The Woodlands Mall borders the waterway and is adjacent to Market
Street, thus forming a large pedestrian friendly shopping district. In addition,
each of the "villages" in The Woodlands has its own shopping center with a core
grocery store and various shops, banks, gas, restaurants, etc.
