Early in its history, Bunker Hill Village consisted of a settlement of German farmers who, attracted by its verdant forest of pines and hardwoods, established sawmills to cut timber. In fact, County highway maps as late as 1936 still showed the existence of several sawmills.

Almost two decades later, as the community evolved, residents concerned that the area's quiet, wooded environment might fall victim to overdevelopment and annexation as Houston's growth drew ever nearer, voted to incorporate their village in December 1954 to ensure that its charm and country-estate atmosphere could be preserved for future generations.

They adopted a mayor-council form of city government and established ordinances and zoning regulations to prohibit businesses. Only single-family homes are permitted in Bunker Hill Village with a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet in District B and 20,000 square feet in District A. As of the 2000 census, the population was 3,654 with approximately 1,307 homes.

The Village is quiet, yet just moments away from the bustling Memorial City Mall and Houston's main east-west corridor, the Katy Freeway (Interstate 10).

A principios de su historia, Bunker Hill Village consistía de una colonia de agricultores alemanes que, atraídos por su frondoso bosque de pinos y otros árboles, establecieron aserraderos para cortar madera. De hecho, mapas de carreteras de condado en fechas cerca del 1936 todavía mostraban la existencia de varios aserraderos.

Casi dos décadas más tarde, a medida que evolucionó la comunidad, los residentes temían que esta zona tranquila podría ser víctima del desarrollo excesivo. Es por esto que votaron para incorporar su aldea en diciembre de 1954 para asegurarse que su encanto se preservaría para generaciones del futuro.
