Vibrant, diverse, and fascinating - these words barely begin to describe Houston. Founded in 1836 by brothers John Kirby Allen and Augustus Chapman Allen, Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States and derives its name from General Sam Houston, who was the president of the then Republic of Texas. Through the years, Houston has transformed from a small town with only 2,000 residents into a major metropolis whose population is over the two million mark.
At present, Houston is second only to New York City in terms of the number of Fortune 500 company headquarters that are housed in a city. It is also home to the Texas Medical Center - the largest concentration of research and healthcare institutions and to NASA's Johnson Space Center, where Mission Control is located.
The city is home to neighborhoods as distinct as its population - a trait that also applies to Houston Real Estate. Downtown Houston is a bustling center of culture - home to the Hobby Center, the Houston Grand Opera, and Minute Maid Park. River Oaks and Sugar Land are touted as the neighborhoods of choice for Houston's elite. The Woodlands' claim to fame is its status as Texas' fastest growing community, and The Galleria boasts chic restaurants and first-rate hotels.
