Plum Grove, TX

Plum Grove is a Liberty County city at the junction of Farm Roads 2090 and 1010, about 40 miles northeast of Houston. The 2020 census counted 1,245 residents. Cleveland is the nearby school and service center, and Cleveland Independent School District serves Plum Grove students. The city sits in the piney East Texas landscape, close enough to Houston to share its wider orbit while remaining a small Liberty County address. Plum Grove’s recent story is tied to the fast-changing Colony Ridge area around it.

In 2015, residents went before the Liberty County Commissioners Court to raise concerns about the development’s expansion, making land growth part of the local civic conversation. The city maintains its own council meetings and municipal services, while roads, schools, and county government handle the larger daily framework. Plum Grove’s local scoop is a small Texas city where two farm roads, a regional school district, and a major subdivision debate meet in the woods northeast of Houston.
