La Porte - Bayshore Chamber of Commerce

The City of Shoreacres is a small community that began when Shoreacres, Inc. subdivided the North part of the Hunning 800 acres out of the W. P. Harris Survey. The plat indicating lots, blocks and newly dedicated public streets was filed of record with the Harris County Clerk on February 16, 1925. A short time thereafter, country homes designed with plenty of windows for the ocean breeze were built on the wooded and seacoast tracts. In an effort to enhance the country club atmosphere, Shoreacres, Inc. donated six acres of ocean front property in 1927 to be the site of the current Houston Yacht Club which is still Shoreacres' sole business establishment
