Houston (pronounced /ˈhjuːstən/) is the fourth largest city in the United States of America and the largest city within the state of Texas.As of the 2006 U.S.Census estimate,the city has a population of 2.2 million within an area of 600 square miles (1,600 km²).Houston is the seat of Harris County and the economic center of the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area—the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the U.S.with a population of around 5.6 million.
Houston was founded on August 30,1836 by brothers Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen[5] on land near the banks of Buffalo Bayou.The city was incorporated on June 5,1837 and named after then-President of the Republic of Texas—former General Sam Houston—who had commanded at the Battle of San Jacinto,which took place 25 miles (40 km) east of where the city was established.The burgeoning port and railroad industry,combined with oil discovery in 1901,has induced continual surges in the city's population.In the mid-twentieth century,Houston became the home of the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's Johnson Space Center,where the Mission Control Center is located.
