Houston Area City Tour
 Two
brothers, J.K. and A.C. Allen, founded Houston on August 30, 1836
just a few months after the end of the Texas War for Independence.
They named the new settlement for the hero of that war, General Sam
Houston.
From 1841 to 1939, Houston municipal government was headquartered
at Old Market Square, on a site donated to the City by Houston's
founder, the Allen brothers. The City Hall on Market Square was
destroyed by fire in the 1870's, and again in 1901, and rebuilt
each time.
