Houston (pron.: /ˈhjuːstən/)
is the fourth most
populous city in the United
States of America, and the most populous city in the state of Texas.
According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the city had a population of 2.1 million
people within a land area of 599.6 square miles (1,553 km2).[1][5] Houston
is the seat of Harris County and
the economic center of Houston–The
Woodlands-Sugar Land, the fifth-largest metropolitan
area in the U.S. with over 6 million people.[6]
Houston was founded in 1836 on land near the banks of Buffalo
Bayou, now known asAllen's
Landing.[7][8] and
incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837. The city was named after former General Sam
Houston, who was president of the 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 and research
institutions—and NASA'sJohnson
Space Center, where the Mission
Control Center is located.[9]
Rated as a global city, Houston's economy has a broad industrial base in energy,
manufacturing, aeronautics, and transportation. It is also leading in health
care sectors and building oilfield equipment; only New
York City is home to more Fortune 500
headquarters.[10][11] The Port
of Houston ranks first in the
United States in international waterborne tonnage handled and second in total
cargo tonnage handled.[12] In
2011, the city was voted "The Coolest City In the US". In 2012, the city was
ranked No.1 for paycheck worth by Forbes.[13] The
city has a population from various ethnic and religious backgrounds and a large
and growing international community. It is home to many cultural institutions
and exhibits, which attract more than 7 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.[14]
