map houston city of Houston Texas ~
The City of
Houston spreads over three counties Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery. The
city is the county seat of Harris County, located at the head of the
Houston Ship Channel, linking to the Gulf of Mexico. Two brothers, J.K. and A.C. Allen, founded Houston on August 30, 1836 just a few months after the end of the Texas War for Independence. They named the new settlement for the hero of that war, General Sam Houston. From 1841 to 1939, Houston municipal government was headquartered at Old Market Square, on a site donated to the City by Houston's founder, the Allen brothers. The City Hall on Market Square was destroyed by fire in the 1870's, and again in 1901, and rebuilt each time. |
