As one of the most popular entertainment cities in the country, Houston has a large number of performers, sporting events, and venues. Houston is one of the few cities to have permanent professional resident companies in all four major performing arts disciplines: Houston Grand Opera (opera), Houston Ballet (ballet), Houston Symphony Orchestra (music), and The Alley Theatre (theater). To house all these performing arts productions, Houston needs multiple theaters, which is why we have the Theater District. Here you’ll find venues such as Hobby Center, Wortham Center, and Jones Hall for the Performing Arts.
Houston is also home to many sports teams including the Astros (MLB), the Texans (NFL), the Rockets (NBA), the Aeros (AHL), and the Dynamo (MLS). Houstonians are extremely loyal to their sports teams, so the people of Houston determined that their teams needed permanent homes. These teams are now housed in state of the art facilities such as Minute Maid Park, Reliant Stadium, Toyota Center, Reliant Arena, and Robertson Stadium. Many concerts are performed in these sporting facilities, but can also be performed at various concert venues such as House of Blues, Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, and Warehouse Live. Houston is also home to the Shell Houston Open and the Texas Bowl.
If you’re looking for museums, check out the Museum District. You and your family will love going to some of these attractions. The Houston Museum of Natural Science always has the latest exhibits, and while you’re there check out the IMAX and the butterfly exhibit. Houston is also home to the Holocaust Museum and the Contemporary Arts Museum among others.
Houston is also the leading city when it comes to medical care and biomedical research. The Texas Medical Center is the world’s largest concentrated area of hospitals and research facilities. Houston has 13 hospitals alone, including MD Anderson Cancer Center, Texas Children’s Hospital. The Baylor College of Medicine is a leading facility in research and training. Life Flight was created in Houston and continues to be the world’s largest air emergency service.
Houston has 337 parks, so if you’re looking for a little greenery, we’ve got it. Bring the kids to the Houston Zoo to see lion, tigers, and bears (oh my!). As part of the aeronautics industry, Houston created the visitors center of the Johnson Space Center, Space Center Houston, which a great place for learning and inspiration. Longing for some water, but don’t want to drive all the way down to the Port of Houston? Check out the downtown Aquarium, or head a little more north to Splashtown, Houston’s most well known water park. No matter what you decide to do in Houston, you won’t be disappointed!
Houston History
Houston has a rather unique history. The city was founded by Augustus and John Allen in 1863 near the banks of the Buffalo Bayou. They decided to name the city after then President of the Republic of Texas, Sam Houston; it was incorporated as a city in 1837. That same year Houston was named the capital of the Republic of Texas. By 1860, Houston had become the commercial and railroad hub for cotton, and by 1890 it had been established as the railroad center of Texas.
The category 4 hurricane of 1900 devastated the Galveston area, causing the deaths of between 6,000 and 12,000 people, making it the deadliest hurricane in U.S. history. One year later, in 1901, oil was discovered at Spindletop near Beaumont, which spurred the creation of the oil industry. President Woodrow Wilson opened the deepwater Port of Houston in 1914 which greatly boosted the economy and would be the main factor in making Houston a Global City. By 1930 Houston had become Texas’s most populous city.
With the start of WWII all shipping activities were suspended, but unlike many other places, Houston’s economy did not suffer. Instead of shipping materials, refineries and factories were built to help supply the troops with much needed petroleum and synthetic rubber. In 1950 air conditioning became available to Houstonians, creating an economic boom and a shift in the economy towards the energy sector. The Manned Spacecraft Center was created in 1961, but was renamed in 1973 as the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. 1965 arrived along with the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Astrodome. This sporting facility became the world’s first indoor domed sports stadium. Shortly after the creation of the Astrodome, the petroleum industry expanded rapidly, causing a population boom in Houston in the late 1970s.
In 2001 Tropical Storm Allison came ashore, pouring 40 inches of rain on the Houston area. This storm would later be recognized as creating the worst flooding in the history of the city, with 20 people perishing in the floods. Later that same year the major energy company, Enron, collapsed and filed for what would be the third largest U.S. bankruptcy. The summer of 2005 brought more than 150,000 New Orleans residents to Houston, after evacuating due to the disastrous effects of category 5 Hurricane Katrina in the New Orleans area. Just one month later, as category 5 Hurricane Rita crept toward the Houston shoreline, 2.5 million Houston area residents fled the city. This evacuation was the largest urban evacuation ever in the history of the United States; Rita ended up doing very little damage.
