Facts about Houston, Texas

Houston was founded on August 30, 1836 by brothers Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen on land near the banks of Buffalo Bayou. It’s named after Sam Houston, the military commander-turned-politician who led the battle for Texas’s independence from Mexico. From 1837 to 1839, Houston was the capital of Texas. We know Houston was big, but did you know it was this big? Houston has about 2.3 million residents, making it the largest city in Texas and in the South. The big Texas city trails behind New York, Los Angeles and Chicago when it comes to population. With more than 11,000 restaurants, which represent more than 70 countries and American regions, to choose from, Houston takes the cake on the best food scene. From food trucks to ramen places to healthy choices, Houston has it all. (This is probably why Houstonians eat out more.) Greater Houston is the most ethnically diverse metropolitan area in the United States. At least 145 languages are spoken by city residents. Houston’s size is 669 square miles

Houstonians eat out an average of 4.8 times per week, and spend roughly 6 percent of their income in doing so, making them some of the nation’s most diligent restaurant patrons. Good thing they have more than 11,000 spots to choose from. Houston has particularly excellent Vietnamese food due to a massive expatriate population, which was partially drawn by the large seafood industry. There’s great Mexican food, and a strong Cajun presence due to the proximity of New Orleans and the many people who came after Katrina and stayed. The nickname “Bayou City” may seem at odds with Houston’s urban sprawl. Nevertheless, the city is crisscrossed with bayous, rivers and other waterways—more than 2500 miles worth, in fact. Though it’s known for its association with the oil industry, Houston has lots and lots of parks and green space — 50,632 acres in total. That puts it third in the U.S. behind only San Diego and Dallas.
