Howellville or Howell is an unincorporated community in Harris County, Texas, United States, which has been absorbed by Greater Houston. The site is located at the intersection of Alief Clodine Road and Sugar Land Howell Road on the west side of Houston, approximately halfway between the original settlements of Clodine and Alief. There are no road signs identifying the place. The community began as a stop on a railroad line that no longer exists.
Howellville is located on Alief Clodine Road, 0.6 miles (1.0 km) east of Texas State Highway 6 (SH 6). The Westpark Tollway is on the north side and parallel with east–west running Alief Clodine Road. O'Donnell Middle School in Alief Independent School District is located on the southeast corner of the Alief Clodine Road and Sugar Land Howell Road intersection. The southwestern corner is occupied by the Park Village Apartments. Hearne Elementary School is one block south of O'Donnell School. A few manufacturing businesses are located a short distance to the northeast on the north side of the tollway. An artificial lake, which is part of Brays Bayou, can be seen approximately 400 yards (366 m) to the north. The name Howell is preserved in two local roads. Sugar Land Howell Road (or Howell Sugar Land Road) begins at the site and extends south 2.8 miles (4.5 km) to Old Richmond Road in Fort Bend County. SH 6 is also called Addicks Howell Road through the area and almost as far north as Interstate 10 at the site of Addicks.[1]
