The county, aat all ends, including north, south, east and west, has experienced trmendous growth spurts throughout the years.
Conroe has enjoyed much growth and prosperity since its humble beginnings in 1870. Recently, the courthouse and surrounding square have undergone a planned revitalization which has brought many new businesses to the downtown area, and now features the new Downtown Outdoor Amphitheater and Pavilion, host of such venues as varous Texas music performers and the Conroe Symphony.
