Rent a vacation rental in Spring

If you would like to rent a vacation rental in Spring, Spring is particularly suitable as a base when, in addition to staying in the Greater Houston area, you are also interested in the history of an established settlement and its railroad location. It is important not to equate Spring with Old Town Spring.

Distinguishing Spring from Old Town Spring

Spring is a census-designated place in Harris County, Texas. The name is also used for a larger area in northern Harris County. This double usage is important when searching for accommodation: The original settlement is now referred to as Old Town Spring and is significantly smaller than the area that is also commonly called Spring.

A history that puts Spring into context

The historic local and railroad connection is the most tangible reason to get to know Spring more closely. Spring developed from a trading and farming community and grew considerably after being connected to the railroad in 1871. In the early 20th century, Spring became an important railroad location with several sets of tracks and numerous employees working in railroad operations. This development is part of Spring's history; however, it should not be taken to mean that there is a present-day tourist railroad attraction.

Pay attention to the exact location when searching for accommodation

When searching specifically for accommodation in Spring, you can use the exact location within the broadly defined area associated with the name as a point of reference. Old Town Spring refers to the original local area at the intersection of Spring-Cypress Road and Hardy Road. Accommodation in Spring is therefore not automatically accommodation in the historic local area. If this local connection is part of your travel plans, pay attention to the exact location when searching.
