Talk:Cypress, Texas

message: The article currently says "the area around present-day Cypress was populated by Atakapa and Akokisa Indian tribes, but they soon disappeared after the appearance of German settlers in the 1840s." Is "disappeared" really the right way to describe this phenomenon? The Wikipedia pages for the Atakapa suggests that they were largely wiped out by European diseases.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dromidary (talk • contribs) 21:53, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

message: I read that she once owned a ranch here given to her by her husband.
I hadn't heard that but I don't pay much attention to ol' Anna. I did come up with this mention of it after about 30 seconds of Googling.

replies: text: In 2005, student enrollment has exceeded 86,000. From 1995 to 2005, 19 schools were opened including Birkes, Danish, Duryea, Farney, Gleason, Keith, Kirk, Lee, Robison, Sampson, Tipps, and Walker elementary schools; Aragon, Goodson, Kahla, and Spillane middle schools; and Cypress Ridge, Cypress Springs, and Windfern High Schools. Four more schools, André, Black and Postma elementary schools and Cypress Woods High School, are scheduled to open for the 2006-2007 school year. As of today, 60 percent of the district’s 186-square miles have been developed with 689,620 Cypress-Fairbanks residents and 4,224 existing subdivisions. 
Note that Cy-Fair ISD is MUCH MUCH larger than the traditional Cypress area.

text: Yes MUCH larger,  CFISD includes parts of the city of Houston, all of Jersey Village and other unincorporated areas of Harris county that do not identify as "Cypress."  This is just a case of creative use of "facts".  Jacksinterweb (talk) 06:25, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

message: What were the boundaries of the city of Cypress? WhisperToMe 16:29, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: An excellent question! I've lived in NW Harris County and inside Cy-Fair ISD for almost 30 years. As far as I know, Cypress has never been an incorporated area. I always considered the general Cypress area to be centered on Cy-Fair High School at 290 and Telge, although the intersection of Spring-Cypress and old Hempstead Highway is closer to the mark. Maybe someone in the appropriate County Precinct office would have some info. --Mycroft.Holmes 17:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For grins, I just sent an email to the Precinct Three County Commissioner's Office asking that very question. I'm not holding my breath for an answer, but you never know!--Mycroft.Holmes 17:16, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

text: From what I've picked up from living in Cypress, Cypress was never incorporated, just a little stop on US 290 centered on Spring-Cypress Road and the Hempstead Highway (US 290), starting at Skinner and 290 on the east and Cypress-Rosehill on the west.  This area was preserved when the county put in the freeway and the stretch is know a Business US 290.  The area was west of what was back then Hot Wells (currently 290 and Barker-Cypress Road) but well east of Hockley or Waller, the next incorporated town.There was once an excellent book written on the development of the area, but I only saw it in a gift shop as a child and it may no longer exist.70.132.141.175 23:59, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Former Cypress city boundaries 

message: I just had an idea after seeing how much this article has grown.  Heritage on the frontage road of 290 near Spring-Cypress road used the have some really old pictures of Cypress, from about 1910's or maybe 1920's.  I was thinking it would be cool if someone could see if they would let those pictures be scanned and uploaded to this article.  I would do it my self but I am living in Waco now; what do yall think?

message: I recently added a community website to the external links.  It has been removed. I was hoping that someone could shed some light as to why. I got a message however it was a canned type of response.  The website I listed was Thefairfieldscoop.  It is a website about one of the most popular neighborhoods in Cypress Texas.  I am new to this and your feedback is very much welcomed.Thefairfieldscoop 02:57, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your link has been identified as spam. Please see How not to be a spammer. The website reads like an advertisement. Also, when I went to the site, it would not let me "Go back" out of it. This may be a glitch, but it is highly typical of commercial sites. --Evb-wiki 03:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Why not create an article about the neighborhood and use The Fairfield Scoop to cite the sources? See, Wikipedia isn't a link farm, but we can add information about Fairfield here. WhisperToMe 04:04, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
