Willis Texas

Willis is a lumbering and agricultural market town, on the Missouri Pacific Railroad eight miles north of Conroe on I-45 in north central Montgomery County.

Population jumped to an estimated 1,457 in 1970, then increased slowly for a decade and a half before another growth spurt began in the 1980s. The Willis area was at last benefiting from the spillover effects of the postwar booms of Houston and Conroe, but the economy remained based on lumbering and agriculture. From an estimated 1,674 in 1986, Willis's population climbed to an estimated 2,110 in 1990, and by 1992 the figure had grown to an estimated 2764.

Willis is part of the Houston, Texas metro area.
