Houston Then and Now Teaching Continuity and Change-over-time Created by Debbie Owens Klein Oak High School

Main Street Houston 1856 Houston begins in 1837 as a small port on the Gulf Coast. John and Augustus Allen settled the hamlet at the conversion of White Oak Bayou and Buffalo Bayou with the hopes of creating “a great center of government and commerce."

Main Street at Buffalo Bayou 1890 Now Allen’s Landing – Named the Port of Houston in 1841

City Hall Early 1900

The Lucas Gusher At Spindletop in Beaumont Jan 10, 1901 Signals the beginning of the oil business in Texas This transforms Houston from a small town to a major port of commerce

How did Houston grow from a hamlet to the 4 th largest city in the nation? Galveston had been the major city in Texas until the storm of 1900 which is considered the deadliest natural disaster to have ever struck the United States. Galveston’s devastation created a need for a major port city in Texas.

Striking oil at Spindletop created a need to transport oil from the oilfields. Followed by the oil strike in Humble, Texas. Houston provided major railway transportation to most of the state of Texas and had access to the Gulf of Mexico.

The United States had become the foremost industrialized country in the world creating a need for oil, cotton, and other products that Texas offered.

With transportation came urbanization, industrialization, expansion, cultural diffusion leading to more of each thus becoming cyclical and ultimately leading to new industry: technology, medicine, banking, etc.

Continuity: What has stayed the same? Climate: flooding, infectious disease from mosquitoes, hurricane, humidity Houston’s economy still relies heavily on the oil and transportation industries. Can you think of any other factors?
