Porter

Few communities in southeast Texas have a history as closely tied to the railroad as Porter. Established as a station on the Houston, East and West Texas Railway in the late 19th century, it developed along a transport corridor linking the Houston area with East Texas. Porter lies on the Gulf Coastal Plain in the San Jacinto River watershed, where pine woods and low, humid terrain mark the edge of the Piney Woods region. US Route 59 and Interstate 69 now connect the community closely with Houston, while Porter retains its distinct Montgomery County identity.
