Garden Oaks and Oak Forest are two quaint neighborhoods located in Houston, Texas. In 1937, Edward L. Crain established the community of Garden Oaks just north of Houston Heights, which is one of the largest neighborhoods in the city of Houston. The region was named for the abundance of oak trees in and around the area. The sizeable community of Oak Forest is located in the northwestern part of Houston. In 1947, the Oak Forest Realty Corporation initially established Oak Forest shortly after the city of Houston annexed the territory.
