Top 10 High Demand Jobs in Atascocita Texas

Many of the fastest growing places in America are not incorporated. They are neither cities nor towns. In the fastest. Early 2010 lineup of fast-growing places released by BusinessWeek, Atascocita is a community that is growing at a rate faster than any other in Texas.

Part of the Houston metroplex, Atascocita is about 5 miles east of Humble, Texas and 10 miles south of Kingwood. The northeast corner of Houston is about 20 miles to the southwest. It is built along the old the Texas state highway called Farm to Market Road 1960, renamed Atascocita Road near and in the village. Farm to Market is associated with transporting cattle and foodstuffs to market for sale and a local Internet Provider has adopted it as a name for their business.

Spanish settlers moved into the Atascocita areas in the 1750s before the Revolutionary War, building a fort with which to stop the incoming French from trading with local Native Americans. When Spaniards failed to spread Christianity to their satisfaction across Texas the Atascocita Trail (later Farm to Market 1960) had continued to serve as a popular route to Louisiana. After the early 1800s, it was the most well-used trail in the state and was likely the highway for cattle drives.
