Founded in 1892 by Simon West, was named for privately owned area park for deer. Railroad station established in 1892, and post office established 1893. Has grown from population of 100 in 1940, largely by establishment of industry along Houston Ship Channel. Population grew from 736 in 1950 to 12,773 in 1970.
Battleground at Deer Park Golf Course offers a challenging 18-hole championship course, driving range and three practice holes. Each hole along the course is named for some portion of Texas history, drawing on Deer Park’s title as “The Birthplace of Texas.” Unique, historic bridge purchased from the Texas Department of Transportation links clubhouse with course.
