Whether you are new to Houston or it has been home to your family for generations, you will appreciate our city’s colorful past. We have our own giants who founded the city and created a port 50 miles in from the Gulf of Mexico. And many of our giants lived life to the fullest.
While real names won’t be used in these stories, those who have lived here a long time or have heard the stories from their families will recognize them as they read about their colorful past.
