History of Mission Woods
In the 1930s, a man named J. C. Nichols started building a neighborhood called Mission Hills. Mission Woods got its name from two things. First, there was a Native American mission built nearby a long time ago. Second, the area has many beautiful trees and a natural, wooded setting.
Mission Woods officially became a city in 1949. In 2014, it became one of the first places to get super-fast internet from Google Fiber. This made it a "fiberhood."
