Houston turns 180 years old.


On August 28th, 2016, Houston turned 180 years old. Houston has gone from a small real estate prospect, to the 4th largest city in the United States of America.

Houston was founded by the Allen brothers, who founded the city on the convergence of the Buffalo and White Oak Bayous. Houston was always designed to be a big city.

On August 28th, 2016 a party was held at Sam Houston Park downtown, the oldest park in the city. Mayor Sylvester Turner was there and said that “From 1836 to where we are today, Houston was come a long way.” I am proud of Houston; it has come a long way from the small town it once was.
