Klein lies in the Cypress Creek watershed in southeast Texas, where its position north of Houston has folded a former farming settlement into the wider metropolitan area. This unincorporated Harris County community remains a familiar local reference point despite suburban growth. Named for German immigrant Adam Klein, who settled in the area during the 19th century, it developed around agriculture and a general store. Its name lives on in Klein Independent School District, a major presence in this expanding corridor.
