The History of Houston, Texas!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- 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!

I hope you enjoy the video! Let's go Houston!
Juan, You did a great job. I'm 73 and a native Houstonian, retired to Lake Geneva, WI. Growing up in Houston our grade-school was Texas history required studies. An hour every day. Also look into Freedmen Town as you research our early history. Keep it up.
Wow thanks so much for the comment! That means a lot to me! I love Texas! I will look into it! Thanks for the tip
So glad this showed up in my TH-cam feed! I love my city. I actually grew up in Cinco Ranch as well, went to CRHS! Moved into the city when I went to UH and settled down here with my family inside the loop. We knew this city was our home.
Steven! So cool you went to Cinco! I did too! I graduated in 2008. I love Houston! It will always have a special place in my heart!
And thanks so much for watching! I appreciate it!
I grew up in Houston too. Aldine area. we move to Washington in 1984
I live on Aldine Mail Rt
Thanks for showing our city some love!!
Love this video and history of HOUSTON!!! H-TOWN BABY!!!
Gracias por verlo bro!
I've lived in Houston all but the first 2.5 years of my life and a couple of years ago, wanted to actually dive into the history out of curiosity. I stumbled upon a wealth of books from Central library that featured some of the earliest photos of the city. You have to hand it to the Allen brothers who sold what was in reality a muddy swamp to their rich well to do friends and business partners as this glorious city where riches awaited with sparkling water and glorious lands, and of course then having invested and committed to moving to Houston, they found out the reality! And yet, here we all are today. Very nice summary/video.
Agreed! It was a great sell by the Allen brothers. Thanks for watching
This is awesome bro. Great historic video. Music, transitions and specially the history is amazing. Keep crushing it bro and mad respect.
Thanks so much for watching bro
Well done! I was born and raised here in Houston. Peace Neighbor and brother from another mother!
Thanks for watching!
I lived in Houston for 2 years growing up (originally from England). Thank you very much indeed for this amazing video! As a history buff it’s very well explained, and I’ve loved hearing of the history of one of the cities closest to my heart 😊
Thanks so much for watching! I am glad you enjoyed the video. Houston is so multicultural. It is awesome seeing how many people from so many different places have lived here!
Hey dude I’m from Houston too. I grew up in Katy as well . I am learning all about The history of Houston.
Thanks for watching! Loved growing up in Katy. It was a great place to grow up
Let's go #HTown. Gracias por el video, muy interesante y educativo.
Mil gracias buddy!!
GREAT JOB, JUAN!
I travel a lot and have met a lot of people with very outdated ideas about our great city. Then, they come here and generally are awestruck at our magnificent commercial emporium!
"WOW! I never knew... ... "
😎👍🏻
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it and yes! I agree...Houston is awesome and it definitely isn't as well known around the world as it should be

I moved to Houston in 1983 from the Chicago area. I lived in the Clear Lake area, until moving into Cinco Ranch in 1999. My Son is into photographing the Houston downtown sky line and has some a amazing pictures, if you would like to see a few let me know.

That’s so strange you would say that Babylon on the bayou. That phrase would always enter my mind when I would enter Houston from I45 heading south where it is painted BE SOMEONE on the over pass.
So cool!
@@juanfernino I always thought some one should have painted Babylon on the Bayou instead of BE SOMEONE but its still cool... last time I went back to Houston I saw someone messed that up by putting the words BE SOMEONE ELSE, which was depressing . Anyway, Thanks for responding, Peace coming from a small town in south Louisiana.
@@RagingCajun985 that is awesome you thought that! Thanks for watching the video! I really appreciate it
@@RagingCajun985 any suggestions on places in Louisiana worth visiting? I have been to New Orleans
No Mention of the Massive skyline and no views of Uptown The TMC Greenway Plaza West Lake only out- dated views of the small side of Downtown? ((PLEASE FIX THIS))! 99 and a half won't do 💯✅! Also Houston's economy is 30th Largest in the world if it were a country. You can fit NYC and others inside it, and it's bigger than most New England states.
Thank you for this! I’m a Canadian RN looking to move down to Houston and this was helpful 🙏
Glad it helped!!
What about Villa Galvez (Galveston), and San Felipe de Indias, named by the first Spaniard settlers?
Juan,...be safe in Colombia.
i was told that im related to the allen brothers. never heard confirmation on that tho.
Wow wild! Thanks for sharing
Bruh we are not about to call Cinco Ranch “west Houston” stop it lmao
I work in the oil industry and I work with people from all over the world like you said. We joke saying it's like the UN at work.
That’s awesome! My Dad works in oil and gas too. It is so cool how many different nationalities are represented
You left out how the Allen brothers actually conned people into buying property by false advertisement. Haha.
Fair enough haha…I guess I didn’t see it like that, but good point
San Jacinto was already here before Houston
Thanks for letting me know
That’s my.....uhh that’s my city dog
Thanks bestie
From the "Artisan Tropic" page, you say: Hometown: Bogota, Colombia?? No entiendo.
I was born in Bogota and lived there till I was 6
Muy padre!
I live in Spring TX! Not far from H-Town
Awesome!
H-Town till I drown 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Haha yes!
4:51 passed by today that building to the left and is being destroyed .
Ooo wow that is crazy
£ast £nd📍🇲🇽 Baby! 🤘🏽😈

HOUSTON TX DOCUMENTARY
Thanks!
Katy isn’t Houston....lol
Lol I’m from Bryan aka Houston tx.
If its within Harris county its part of Houston, we have annexed multiple towns thats why theres so many small towns inside of HTown
You are a legend bro!
@@vgtdeslp lol Baytown is Harris county and Baytown isn’t Houston
Thanks bro!
"can you imagine nowadays going and buying a plot of land & building a new city" I think Elon Musk is doing this with his project Starbase City Texas
Hahaha that is true
Dc as Rome and Austin Waterloo. When the X is completed in 2024 by the second great American eclipse it will come out of Mexico and hit Austin first and then Dallas.
The forefathers owe me a catalytic converter
Hahaha that’s fair
I grew up in houston in the 80s. It was during the oil bust when oil prices plummeted creating a huge depression in the city. Back then houston was a big SHITHOLE. No jobs. Everybody was always in a bad mood. People were always irritable. Downtown was DEAD. no it has changed so much. It's a lot better now
Katy is not Houston.
Katy is considered a suburb of the City of Houston.😊
yo dude this shit is AWESOME! I'm trash at youtube, so don't contact me here plz lol. I'm with Apollo Media (all Houston, all original) and tbh we're looking for people just like you. Send us a message on twitter @ApolloHOU or to me directly @lilbrotaylor and lets get it going
Thanks bro! I will connect with you on Instagram
I wish houston had a little more western history like you have in west texas and Arizona it’s pretty much all business through out it’s life. There is the battle of San Jacinto that is all I know of
That is true!
Why would we have western history? We’re a southern city. We have the battleship of Texas by San Jac as you mentioned (the monument is taller than the Washington monument in DC) and a whole different culture and history than west Texas.
@@PatricenotPatrick ..... we are texas...... I literally live 5 min from that monument..... it's OK. I woild go the USS texas and volunteer every summer..... there is nothing Hollywood about houston histroy outside that battle. You are asking why I wish my city had more western history ? That is self evident. I'm sorry that houston histroy revolves around oil, that only holds so much weight to historians. When the most expensive exhibit at the museum of natrual history is dedicated to oil it gets boring. Sucks that there are ghost towns in the desert that has more interesting history and lore.
@@PatricenotPatrick also, Hardin was arguably the deadliest wild west shooter and he was from east texas. So we do have some western history
@@razablanco3766 Such a historian you are and you think our history is only about oil. Have several seats lmfaooo
Showing this video in my classroom AT Cinco Ranch High! How cool!!
What?!! I went there! I graduated from Cinco in 2008! I played soccer there. Thanks for sharing! So cool that you are showing it in Cinco
[HTX 🔥]
You are a legend bro
Look into the movement to relocate the Texas capital back to Houston. But the plot was foiled by bad timing of sneaking around.
I’ll look into it!
Good luck being kind of in traffic jam in houston texas
Haha fair enough
It's guy-zer not gay-zer. Good video!
Haha I knew I had pronounced it wrong. Thanks for watching!
Bro you grew up in Katy not Houston.. You're not from Houston my dude.
Unfortunately, like all democrat run cities, Houston is being run into the ground, being overtaken with crime, because we have a terrible mayor in Sylvester Turner, and next on the list to run for mayor, and could possibly win is Sheila, Jackson, Lee and Houston will definitely become if not the worst city in the United States. If she’s elected, they have ruined a once great city.
Dallas is republican and literally has the same crime rate. As well as Tusla being even higher. These problems come from different reasons than your hatred for Democrats.
