When we moved to The Woodlands in 1996, I remember hearing that the EAST side of Lake Woodlands had been an INDIAN burial grounds. As such, there would NEVER be any construction in that area.
 
Has anyone else ever heard of this, or did I dream it?

I had heard such talk way back when. But I knew someone who worked for the Woodlands when George Mitchell was still running it, they said the East side was not going to be residential but business. So who knows with the new company developing the Woodlands what they will do.

I am interested in any evidence of Indian burial grounds under Copper Knoll. Or if there was a assessment done with the initial development by archeologists to go with the permits giving the area clean bill. The development reworked and landscaped the areas pretty thoroughly so it's hard now to follow the remaining woods and walk and look for native soils and artifacts. So any history may now be covered. That's why I'm asking what is available on the pre development. Please if you can direct me to a credible source I would appreciate it.

Just poking around:

in part:
The area that now comprises Montgomery County has long been the site of human habitation. Numerous artifacts from the Paleo-Indian (10,000–6,000 B.C.) and Archaic (6,000–200 B.C.) cultures have been found in the area, suggesting that it has been continuously occupied for more than 10,000 years. When the first Europeans arrived the region it was dominated by various tribes of the Atakapan Indians, a predominantly hunting and gathering people whose range extended south and eastward to the Gulf Coast. In the early eighteenth century one of these tribes, the Arkokisas (Orcoquisacs) had campsites along Peach Creek and on the banks of the San Jacinto River. The Bidai Indians, another Atakapan tribe, also ranged across most of the future county, their territory extending as far north as the Old San Antonio Road. Most of these natives peoples eventually succumbed to European diseases, were killed by other Indian tribes, intermarried, or migrated elsewhere; by 1850 virtually no trace of them remained.

@HiHoNeighbor : Thanks for the info. I had heard long ago that there was evidence of settlements near Spring Creek.
