History
Unlike some of the surrounding communities, Bellaire wasn’t founded until the early 20th century. Initially conceived as an early planned community and truck farm center for the Houston area, Bellaire’s first plots were developed by the wealthy owner of the nearby Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. Although the city had grown considerably by World War II, its growth was impeded by the city of Houston’s annexation of the lands that surrounded it. The rapid development of the area’s highway system contributed to breakneck population growth during the 1950s and 60s. Despite its location in a region that values unchecked growth, the city recently earned plaudits for converting its last tract of open space into a community center and park.

Climate and Weather
Bellaire’s climate is characterized by hot, humid summers, wet transitional seasons and mild winters. Although every month of the year experiences ample rainfall, the late summer months tend to be particularly wet. This is due to an annual influx of tropical moisture that can spawn tropical storms and even hurricanes. Fortunately, such events are relatively rare. During the transitional seasons, warm, sunny periods alternate with showery, unsettled days. Although frosts are somewhat common, frozen precipitation is quite rare.
