Just 15 minutes from Temple, Texas lies the City of Morgan’s Point Resort. This town is not to be confused with Morgan’s Point, Texas which sits 20 minutes south of Houston. Morgan’s Point Resort is the perfect lakefront town that faces Belton Lake and Killeen, Texas. Although small in population, with only 4,636 individuals calling this town home, Morgan’s Point Resort is filled with plenty of fun things to do and a rich history you won’t want to miss! 

Interestingly enough, the city of Morgan’s Point Resort did not become an incorporated city until July 1, 1970, its history dates back to 1885. James E. Morgan and his family were the original owners of the land on which the city was developed. Morgan built his family home on was once called Tennessee Valley on the Leon River, a 185-mile river that runs southeast from Belton Lake to Little River-Academy, Texas. 

By the 1960s, a majority of the Morgan estate was purchased by the Great Western Investment Corporation, also known as Terramar Corporation, and the Lakeshore Development Company. These two companies were the primary developers of today’s  Morgan City Resort.
