About Houston
Houston is the largest city in Texas, a sprawling Gulf Coast metropolis of space history, big museums, bayou parks and food from around the world.
Houston sprawls across the flat coastal plain of south-east Texas, inland from the Gulf coast, with a skyline of towers downtown. It was founded in 1836 and named for Sam Houston, the general who won Texas independence at the Battle of San Jacinto. The San Jacinto Monument, a tall masonry column topped with a star, marks the battlefield, and Buffalo Bayou Park runs through the city, with trails, bridges and an underground cistern.
Top-ranked sights in Houston: Space Center Houston, Market Square Park, Downtown Aquarium.
