Introduction

The city of Houston is both the capital and largest city in the new Republic of Texas. Houston was founded in 1836 on land near the banks of Buffalo Bayou (now known as Allen's Landing) and incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837. The city was named after former General Sam Houston, who was president of the original Republic of Texas and had commanded and won at the Battle of San Jacinto 25 miles (40 km) east of where the city was established. The burgeoning port and railroad industry, combined with oil discovery in 1901, has induced continual surges in the city's population. In the mid-twentieth century, Houston became the home of the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare based research institutions and the former United States' National Aviation and Space Administration at Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center was located.

Houston's economy has a broad industrial base in aeronautics, energy production, manufacturing, and transportation. It is also North America's leading city in terms of health care research and oilfield equipment production. Today, Houston is headquarters to more Fortune 500 companies than the Federated American States financial capital of New York City. The Port of Houston ranks first among North American ports in terms of international waterborne and total cargo tonnage handled. The city has an expanding population formed from a variety ethnic-religious backgrounds and a extensive flourishing international community. It is home to many cultural institutions and exhibits, which attract more than 20 million visitors a year to the Museum District. Houston has an active visual and performing arts scene in the Theater District and offers year-round resident companies in all major performing arts.
