William Clifford Hogg (January 31, 1875 – September 12, 1930) was an American attorney, developer, civic activist, and philanthropist.
Three younger siblings were born during this time: Ima Hogg (c. 1882), Michael (1885), and Thomas Elisha (1887).
He considered a career in ministry, though he changed his curriculum at the University of Texas, where he earned a law degree in 1897.
[1] Hogg worked for and was a friend of Joseph S. Cullinan and helped found the American Republics Corporation.
In 1924, Hogg with his brother Mike and his old college friend, Hugh Potter, started a plan for an exclusive subdivision west of downtown Houston.
