In the mid-1950s, effort to form a Spring Branch municipality failed.[5] The city incorporated in December 1954 with a mayor-council government.[4] Because of the 1954 incorporation, Houston did not incorporate Bunker Hill Village's territory into its city limits, while Houston annexed surrounding areas that were unincorporated.[6] In 1962 the city had 2,216 people. By 1966 Bunker Hill Village became affluent and had two public schools and two churches. In 1981, 4,442 people lived in Bunker Hill Village.[4]
