Houston City Guide

The largest city in Texas is a place where folks just naturally take charge. NASA launched its rockets elsewhere, but Houston – now known as Space City – is where Mission Control was famously located. Outside of New York City there are more corporate headquarters in Houston than in any other American city. Houston has also long been an energy industry leader and is a major healthcare and research center. Houston is all Texas but it’s also considered one of the most ethnically diverse major metropolises in the United States.

Architecture and landmarks

Studded with glass and steel skyscrapers, the Houston skyline is America’s 3rd tallest. The absence of zoning laws has also made it one of the most eclectic. The JPMorgan Chase Tower is the Lone Star State’s tallest structure and the world’s highest five-sided building, while the original JP Morgan Chase Building still stands as a Gothic Revival Art Deco masterwork. Houston City Hall is another revered souvenir of the Art Deco era. The 64-story Williams Tower stands out for being raised conspicuously outside the central business district.

Mission Control Center in the Johnson Space Center continues to define Houston in the public imagination and Hollywood movies. The Astrodome that was the world’s first domed sports stadium in 1965 is now a Texas State Antiquities Landmark. The heroic equestrian statue of city namesake General Sam Houston commands the landscape of Hermann Park. The Fred Hartman cable-stayed bridge over the Houston Ship Channel reminds Houstonians that the Port of Houston handles more cargo than any other in the United States. Allen’s Landing preserves the original dock where city founders landed in 1837.
