houston celebrates 170 today!


Recommended Posts

Interesting.

From the Handbook of Texas:

The city began on August 30, 1836, when Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen ran an advertisement in the Telegraph and Texas Register for the "Town of Houston."

And the city's press release sort of says Houston's 170th birthday is August 23.
