Houston

Houston is the most populous city in the US state of Texas and the fourth-largest city in the United States. It serves as the seat of Harris County and is a major economic and cultural hub in the southern United States. The city has a population of more than two-million people within its city limits and anchors a metropolitan area of over seven-million residents. Houston is a global centre for energy, particularly oil and gas, and hosts the headquarters of numerous Fortune 500 companies, including many in the energy, healthcare and aerospace sectors. The city is home to the Port of Houston, one of the busiest ports in the United States, which handles significant volumes of international cargo. Houston also serves as a major hub for manufacturing, technology and financial services. The Texas Medical Center, the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions, is located in Houston. The city was founded in 1836 and named after General Sam Houston, who led Texas to independence from Mexico, and has grown into a diverse, sprawling metropolis with significant influence in global energy markets and commerce.
