History
Atascocita's name derives from the Atascocito military outpost and subsequent road constructed by the Spanish in 1756. The Atascocito Road stretched from Spanish Louisiana in the east to San Antonio in the west, connecting eastern Texas to the rest of New Spain. The Atascocito Road was a major route for American migrants moving to Texas in the 1820s and 1830s. It is unclear exactly when Atascocito shifted to Atascocita.
The City of Houston annexed portions of what would become Atascocita in the 1960s, but it was de-annexed in the late 1970s.
Construction in the area began in the 1970s. In the 1990s Atascocita included fifteen neighborhoods and was one of the fastest-growing developments in the Greater Houston area.
The U.S. Census Bureau first established the Atascocita CDP for the 2000 U.S. census. The City of Houston did limited purpose annexation in Atascocita after the year 2000, therefore reducing the CDP's territory.
In 2009 the Gadberry Group named Atascocita as one of "9 from 2009" most notable high growth areas in the United States. The 2010 census listed Atascocita's population as 65,844, up from 35,757 at the 2000 census.
Atascocita has two community newspapers, The Tribune Newspaper and The Atascocita Observer.
