Knollwood Village is built on the former site of the Main Street Airport. Flori Meeks of the Houston Chronicle stated that the airport had been built at least by the 1930s.

Heather Saucier of the Houston Chronicle wrote that in the community, the rumor was that it was named after a knoll "because the area rarely flooded." [2] Knollwood Village predates the 610 Loop and the Houston Astrodome. According to Meeks, at that time Knollwood Village, "was in what was considered the outer boundaries of Houston." [1]
