Lake Jackson began as a planned community for workers of the Dow Chemical Company, and just a handful of years later it was officially incorporated as a town. Nicknamed the “City of Enchantment,” you’ll notice a naming theme for all their streets. Pre-development, the area was rich with looming oaks, elms, and other ravenous plants. The decision made to spare as many as possible is indicative of the respect this area has for the land. As a result, the town named the streets after trees, flowers, fruits, and shrubs to keep with a natural vibe. Come on down to Lake Jackson where the only ones throwing shade will be the trees.
