Houston Historic Sites
In August 1836, just a few months after General Sam Houston won Texas' independence from Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto, two brothers set out to create "a great center of government and commerce" on the banks of Buffalo Bayou. Today, the City of Houston is a vast metropolis, rich with culture and dotted with important elements of its storied history.
