Read on to discover how this beautiful town came to be and how The Colony has transformed into the vibrant hub that is home to Waterford Point today.
Peters Colony
The Colony was originally known as Peters Colony, named after William S. Peters, a musician and businessman who recruited settlers, known as Peters Colonists, to the area including ten families who originally settled on the land.
Hedgcoxe War
The land later became home to the Texas Agricultural, Commercial, and Manufacturing Company, of which Henry O. Hedgcoxe was appointed as land agent. Colonists were not fond of Hedgcoxe, and a group planning to seize the land records and force Hedgcoxe out of his position raided and burned down the land office. This incident is now known as the Hedgcoxe War of 1852.
Camey Settlement to Present Day
Peters Colony was renamed Camey Settlement in the early 1900’s. By the 1940s, the land had a school, a grocery store and a cotton gin. Some of the original settlers are buried in the Bridges Cemetery located on the eastern side of what is today known as The Colony.
Land Developers Fox & Jacobs bought the land that is now The Colony in 1969 and started building homes in 1972. The first family moved into their home in 1974 and by 1977 the area had over 5,000 residents.
Today, The Colony is home to around 40,000 residents and continues to let its rich history shine through historical landmarks and street names named after original land owners.
