Sam Houston Electric Cooperative has been powering communities & empowering Co-op members since 1939. was born. Learn more about our history on our website.

Electric cooperatives were created to serve the best interests of their member-owners, and that's exactly what Sam Houston Electric Cooperative does. In the 1930s, the vast rural areas of America did not have access to the wonders of electricity. Sam Houston EC’s original founders first met on Aug. 27, 1938, in Polk County to plan their cooperative. On May 16, 1939, they received a charter from the State of Texas, and Sam Houston Electric Cooperative Inc. The Co-op began construction of its first power lines, 243 miles long, on Jan. 15, 1940, which would serve 661 members in Polk, San Jacinto, Walker and Liberty Counties. Today, Sam Houston EC maintains 6,000 miles of line serving more than 57,000 members in parts of 10 counties. Facebook Policy
