Cabinet Maker in Houston, TX

Houston, TX — Background

Houston was founded in 1836 by brothers Augustus and John Allen, who purchased land along Buffalo Bayou and named the settlement after General Sam Houston, commander of the Texas army at the Battle of San Jacinto. The city was incorporated in 1837 and served briefly as the capital of the Republic of Texas before Austin assumed that role. Houston's modern identity was shaped decisively by the discovery of oil at Spindletop in 1901 and the subsequent development of the Texas Gulf Coast as the center of the American petroleum industry. According to the City of Houston, the city today covers more than 670 square miles, making it the largest city by land area in Texas and one of the largest in the United States. Houston is the anchor city of the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land Metropolitan Statistical Area, one of the five largest metro areas in the country.
