Blue Ridge is a community in Houston, Texas, United States that used to be a distinct unincorporated area in northeast Fort Bend County.

==History==
The area now known as Blue Ridge was a part of Stephen F. Austin's first colony. The site itself began to be permanently occupied in the late 19th century. As an independent community Blue Ridge did not have any post offices. The W. Allen Robinson family arrived in Blue Ridge in 1894, and in the 1890s the family established a ranch headquarters. Oil was discovered near Blue Ridge in 1919, and a salt mine opened shortly afterwards. In 1925 gas was discovered in the area. As resources were discovered, banks and gambling houses opened and the ''Handbook of Texas'' stated that Blue Ridge became a "boomtown".〔 In 1936 the Blue Ridge State Prison Farm incorporated the area, and most Blue Ridge residents were staff members at the facility.〔 Blue Ridge acted as a satellite work camp for the Central Prison Farm.〔"(Texas correctional officer killed in 1936 recognized at memorial ceremony )."

Parts of the area were annexed by Houston in the early 1970s.〔Vaughn, Carol E. "(Neighborhood councils recognized / Fort Bend to develop identity )." ''Houston Chronicle''. Thursday June 20, 2002.
