Indian Springs opened in 1984 as the fourth village in The Woodlands. Its name comes from Native American artifacts unearthed on the land that year. They belonged to the Bidai, an Atakapan people who ranged over most of what became Montgomery County in the early 1700s; by about 1900 almost no trace of the tribe remained. The Township calls Indian Springs one of the smaller villages, and Community Impact describes it as the only village with hilly terrain. In 2018 the village association counted about 2,180 homes and 6,600 residents, with no apartments. Indian Springs is in Montgomery County.
