About Markham, Texas
Markham is a community in Matagorda County, about 90 miles southwest of downtown Houston. It was founded in 1901 under the name Cortes, and in 1903 the Moore-Cortes Canal Company helped the young settlement grow. That same year its residents gave the town a new name, Markham, after a railroad man.
The railroad carried the town through its next decade. By 1914 trains on the Texas and New Orleans Railroad were stopping at Markham, and 500 people lived there. The 2020 census counted 908 residents, and the community's students attend the Tidehaven Independent School District.
