History

Friendswood Development Company bought 1,800 acres (7.3 km2) at the corner of Texas State Highway 6 and Farm to Market Road 529 from the Gus Wortham estate in 1977. Two years later the first houses in Copperfield had been built and sold. In 1989 Friendswood Development bought an additional 260 acres (110 ha) and continued building houses into the 1990s.[2] In 1991 Standard Pacific of Houston had acquired 70 acres (28 ha) in Copperfield from Friendswood Development and planned to build 265 houses in Copperfield Place Village, a community within Copperfield.[3]
