Living in Friendswood
Friendswood is a city of more than 40,000 people southeast of Houston, mostly in Galveston County with a portion in Harris County. Quaker families founded it in 1895, and the name comes from the Society of Friends. It still feels like a small town, with wooded neighborhoods along Clear Creek, community events at its city parks and a long-running Fourth of July celebration, while Hobby Airport, NASA's Johnson Space Center and the Bay Area are a short drive away.
