“The heart of the city of Houston — the 610 loop — and the greater Houston area has several neighborhoods that have helped carve culture, create identity and sustain history. One of the neighborhoods that single-handedly put Houston on the map as a focal point of the LGBTQ community is Montrose.

In 1911, Montrose was a farmland owned by Houston developer J.W. Link. Link envisioned Montrose becoming a residential area, an idea that sprouted when he had a mansion built on what is now a part of the University of St. Thomas.
In the late ‘70s Montrose became the face of not only gay culture, but gay liberation in the Houston area, ultimately becoming the gayborhood it is recognized as today.”
