Acres Homes was established in 1910. Working class families,
laborers, farmers, water front workers, carpenters, domestics,
military, and factory workers filled with hope and self-pride began
migrating and purchasing property platted for African Americans
approximately 10 miles northwest of downtown Houston from developer
Alfred A. Wright. The settlement acquired its name Acreage Home
from the fact that land was sold by the acre rather than by the
lot. The land owners benefited from low taxes, inexpensive land,
and an agrarian lifestyle a bit of genteel country with quick and
easy access to the city.
