Wooster, Baytown, Texas

Wooster is an area of Baytown, Texas, United States that used to be a distinct unincorporated community in Harris County.

Most of Brownwood was condemned by FEMA after Hurricane Alicia destroyed all but a few of the homes there in August 1983.

Wooster is within the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District.

In the late 1990s Exxon Mobil began purchasing former company homes in the Wooster area.

The oil company purchased the homes to make a protective greenbelt around the perimeter of the plant and to prevent future litigation if new homeowners reported medical conditions that might be related to plant operations.
