History
Mission Bend began in the early 1980s. The area gained population between 1980 and 1990. In 1990, the community had 24,945 residents. By 2000, many of the area's residents commuted to Houston.
The City of Houston did a limited purpose annexation of a portion of the Mission Bend area after the year 2000, therefore reducing the CDP's territory.
