I grew up in Houston, Texas. To be 100% exact I grew up in Cinco Ranch, which is in Katy, Texas, a suburb on the west side of Houston. I haven’t lived in Houston since I was 18 years old so it has basically been 12 years since I left! You can do the math as to how old I am lol

I have been living overseas the past couple of years, but I decided to move back to Houston this year and it has been an amazing experience to rediscover Houston and all it has to offer. I think Houston is an amazing city and this led me to research the History of Houston. How did Houston become what it is today? What factors in history have affected Houston’s course and growth?

The History of Houston is full of interesting people and important events and in this video I give you a recap of what I believe are some of the highlights in Space City’s history! I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching! Let’s go Houston!

A massive thanks to the University of Houston Library for priceless resources and pictures:
