Montgomery County finds new way to honor local landmarks Montgomery County commissioners approved in December the creation of a new program to recognize local historical and cultural landmarks. Because of recent budget cuts within the Texas Historical Commission, staffing has been significantly reduced and the commission can no longer handle the large amount of requests for historical markers from the state’s more than 254 counties, said Larry Foerster, chairman of the Montgomery County Historical Commission. The new Montgomery County Historical Marker Program will have the ability to approve landmarks and distribute markers to landowners whose properties have played a prominent role in the region’s past.
