Houston wasn't supposed to exist. In 1836, two New York brothers bought 6,600 acres of swampland for $1.40 per acre and named it after Sam Houston. They bribed the Republic of Texas to move the capital there by offering to build the capitol for free. It worked for 2 years until yellow fever and flooding drove the government to Austin. Houston almost became a ghost town, but the port saved it. Now it's the 4th largest city in America. Are you from Houston? Drop your neighborhood in the comments.
