readam Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Gulfton was changed for a pretty important reason....Texaco's Research facility was located in that area between Post Oak ( W Loop) and S. Rice. Tthey changed the name to Fournace running from Rice to Newcastle ( Avenue A). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
