Houston Skyline from Interstate 45, Houston, TX Founded in 1836 by Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen, Houston was named for Sam Houston, one of the most prominent leaders of the Texas Revolution in the 1830s. The city was incorporated and became the capital of the Republic of Texas in 1837, before the capital moved permanently to Austin in 1839. The city grew slowly as a major trading hub for the state of Texas beginning in the 1840s, and became the main railroad hub of the state of Texas by 1890. However, the city lagged behind the nearby port city of Galveston, located on the Gulf of Mexico, until the 1900 Galveston Hurricane devastated the city, leading to an effort to create a deepwater port at Houston, which was further inland and better protected from hurricanes. Between 1902 and 1914, the Houston Ship Channel was deepened, creating a large port at Houston, leading to the beginning of the city’s continual rapid growth ever since, growing from under 100,000 people to over 2,000,000 people in the century between 1910 and 2010. The city’s skyline today is dominated by skyscrapers built during the energy and real estate boom of the 1970s and 1980s, and includes several buildings by significant architects, including Philip Johnson and John Burgee, I. M. Pei, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, and Pelli Clarke Pelli Associates. The city has continued to see major growth driven by the petrochemical industry, and today has the fourth-largest municipal population and fifth-largest metropolitan area population of any city in the United States, as well as being one of the nation’s most ethnically diverse cities.
