==History==
The Spring Branch Memorial area was originally settled by [[German American|German immigrants]] in the 19th century. Hedwig Village's name originates from Hedwig Road, which was built on the property of Hedwig Jankowski Schroeder; Schroeder emigrated from Germany to Texas in 1906 to help her sister operate a business in Houston. There she met, and married, Henry Schroeder, son of Jacob Schroeder, one of the area's earliest immigrants. They established their home and farmed in the area now known as Hedwig Village.

In the mid 1950s, efforts to form a Spring Branch municipality failed.<ref>{{Handbook of Texas|id=hrsrj|name=Spring Branch, Texas}}</ref> Hedwig Village was incorporated on December 23, 1954 and established a [[zoning]] ordinance in 1955.<ref name="HedwigHandbook">{{Handbook of Texas|id=hgh06|name=Hedwig Village, Texas}}</ref> Because of the 1955 incorporation, Houston did not incorporate Hedwig Village's territory into its city limits, while Houston annexed surrounding areas that were [[unincorporated area|unincorporated]].<!--Print version exclusively has the information cited; the information is ''not'' included in the online edition--><ref name="Annexbitter">Lee, Renée C.

"Some of the area communities that incorporated as cities and escaped annexation by Houston:" Print version exclusively has the information cited; the information is ''not'' included in the online edition.</ref> Hedwig Village incorporated because residents feared that Houston would annex them. Around 1963, residents of Hedwig Villages and other Memorial villages wanted what Gia Gustilo of the ''[[Houston Chronicle]]'' referred to as "a more country-like atmosphere in close proximity to Houston."<ref name=Gustilo>Gustilo, Gia. "[http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive.mpl/2002_3541435/what-s-in-a-name-hedwig-village-emerges-from-donat.html WHAT'S IN A NAME / Hedwig Village emerges from donated farm land]." ''[[Houston Chronicle]]''. Thursday April 25, 2002. ThisWeek 7. Retrieved on October 13, 2012.</ref> Laverne Coller, a resident, quoted in the ''Houston Chronicle'' who moved to Hedwig Village in 1963, was paraphrased by Gustilo as "Hedwig Village is unique among the villages in that it was the only municipality to accept the existing commercial sector, which was quite a bonus to the city's revenues."<ref name=Gustilo/>

In 1960, the city had 1,182 residents. By 1966, the community had two schools, one library, and two churches. By 1970, the city had 3,255 residents, and in 1971 the city completed a park. The city had 3,994 residents in 1980 and 2,616 in 1990.<ref name="HedwigHandbook"/> Coller said in 2003 that many children of early Hedwig Village residents had begun to settle the Hedwig Village area.<ref name=Gustilo/> In 2003 Coller, as paraphrased by Gustilo, said "Despite the changes, several of her old neighbors remain and the camaraderie with new residents is good."<ref name=Gustilo/>

=== Cityscape ===
When Hedwig Village was first established, houses were similar to [[ranch houses]] and there were more private dirt roads than paved streets. Katy Road (now [[Interstate 10 in Texas|Interstate 10]], Katy Freeway) had many neighborhood stores, according to Laverne Coller.<ref name="Gustilo" />

In 2003, Edith Spang, a former librarian at the Spring Branch Memorial Branch Library quoted in the ''[[Houston Chronicle]]'', said that as time passed, the civic locations, including the library; the medical care facilities; the shopping venues; and the traffic were all parts of Hedwig Village's growth<ref name="Gustilo" /> Spang remarked that Hedwig Village "has definitely changed along with the other villages. It's lost the sleepy little country atmosphere."<ref name="Gustilo" /> Coller said that none of the stores that had originally existed when she moved still existed by 2003.<ref name="Gustilo" />
