Missouri City is renaming Watts Plantation Road due to the area's historic relevance and to remain consistent with the new Watts Road extension from Sienna Parkway to Knight Road, and from Shipmans Cove Boulevard to North Creekmont Drive.

Missouri City City Council unanimously approved a resolution—estimated to cost the city about $3,000—to change the road’s name to Henry Watts Road at a Jan. 20 meeting. The money will fund road sign changes at 13 intersections down the road, according to agenda documents.

The name change will affect 90 parcels, per agenda documents, including:
  • About 10 residential properties
  • Two religious properties
  • One apartment complex
  • One city facility
