Overview
Houston’s story began in 1837 when brothers Augustus and John Allen explored Buffalo Bayou and Galveston Bay in search of land to build a new town. With an investment of less than $10,000, they laid the foundation for what would become one of the most dynamic and beautiful cities in the United States. Today, Houston is internationally recognized for its rich culture, diverse communities, and iconic landmarks. Visitors are encouraged to take their time and soak in all the sights, sounds, and stories this vibrant city has to offer.
