Electric service decided its status: with Houston unwilling to string lines so far out, the county judge declared West University Place a city on January 2, 1924. Ben Hooper, a former Tennessee governor, developed the area starting in 1917. Its original housing was mid-20th-century bungalows and cottages, many replaced by larger houses after the city eased its building rules. Detached houses make up 95 percent of the city's housing, and 33 percent of units were built in 2000 or later. Also known as West University Place.
