    Katy is a city in the U.S. state of Texas within the Greater Katy area, itself forming the western part of the Greater Houston metropolitan area. Homes and businesses may have Katy postal addresses without being in the City of Katy. The city of Katy is approximately centered at the tripoint of Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties. Katy had a population of 14,102 at the 2010 U.S. census, up from 11,775 in 2000. Its population increased to an estimated at 21,729 in 2019 at the American Community Survey.
    First formally settled in the mid-1890s,[8] Katy was a railroad town along the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT) Railroad which ran parallel to U.S. Route 90 (today Interstate 10) into downtown Houston. The fertile floodplain of Buffalo Bayou, which has its source near Katy, and its tributaries made Katy and other communities in the surrounding prairie an attractive location for rice farming. Beginning in the 1960s, the rapid growth of Houston moved westward along the new Interstate 10 corridor, bringing Katy into its environs. Today, Katy lies at the center of a broader area known as Greater Katy, which has become heavily urbanized.
    While largely subsumed into Greater Houston, the town of Katy is still notable for Katy Mills Mall, the Katy Independent School District, and its historic town square along the former right-of-way of the MKT railroad.

    I remember when the McDonalds at 16:10 served pizza! Also, most of this area was underwater during Hurricane Harvey.

    As a Brit that knows there is a Traditional British Chippy in Katy, was disappointing that you can't see what is on the sides of the road, (stores etc), & only really being able to see where the vehicle will drive....would be a lil more interesting if camera was at a slight angle, rather than straight on!

    Texas' a land of many lands. Accordingly with history; Alvaro Nuñes Cabeza de Vaca, was the first white man to arrive to this land.

    Kind of a boring video. But in fairness, Katy doesn’t really have a lot that would be of interest to someone who doesn’t live here.

      Car oriented development pattern.

      Katy is cool, but it doesn’t have much in the city proper.

    It doesn’t look like downtown to me. Looks like an old rusty town.

      He's only showing you what locals call Katy Proper and he's not showing you the pretty parts, just around a few streets. It's definitely not an old rusty town, rather a high-end Houston suburb with a top school district in the state.
