HISTORY OF THE AREA

In 1917, the United States leased a large tract of land from the well-known Hogg family, and it became Camp Logan, a sophisticated training camp for U.S. Army soldiers.  Camp Logan operated as a military establishment and a charity

hospital for several years before the sons of Texas Governor James Hogg regained control of the land.  In 1925,

the Hogg family conveyed to the City of Houston much of this property for the development of Memorial Park

as a dedication to the memory of World War I soldiers.
