Friendswood is a city in the U.S. state of Texas. It is part of the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metropolitan area. The city lies in Galveston and Harris Counties. In 2007, CNN/Money magazine listed Friendswood as one of 100 “America’s Best Places to Live” for that year, making it one of 900 small towns recognized since the rankings first began in 2005.

During the 1950s, young families moving out from Houston began to give Friendswood its modern, bedroom stature, but the population was still less than 1,000 in 1959. In 1960, farsighted local men put into action a plan for the incorporation of Friendswood, and the town elected its first mayor, city council, and a law officer-a move which helped prepare it to cope with the tremendous growth which took place in the decade of the 1960s as hundreds of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) employees chose Friendswood as their home. Subdivisions, schools, churches, businesses and community organizations mushroomed.

By 1966 Friendswood had its first medical clinic, pharmacy, bank, newspaper and police department. In 1969 the population was 5,200.

Education is an important part of every successful community. Friendswood lies within two premier school districts: Clear Creek Independent School District (ISD) and Friendswood ISD. Both are rated among the best in Texas. There are several community colleges, as well as quality four year universities and upper level graduate schools in close proximity.

Within a thirty minute drive residents can attend cultural, educational and recreational events, including: Amusements parks, Ballet, The beach at Galveston, Major league sports of every kind, Museums, NASA, Observatories, Opera, Orchestras, Theaters, and Zoos.
