Texas City is a city in Galveston County in the U.S. state of Texas. Located upon the southwest shoreline of Galveston Bay, Texas City is a vivacious deepwater port on Texas’s Gulf Coast, as skillfully as a petroleum-refining and petrochemical-manufacturing center. The population was 51,898 at the 2020 census, making it the third-largest city in Galveston County, behind League City and Galveston. It is a part of the Houston metropolitan area. The city is notable as the site of a major explosion in 1947 that demolished the harbor and much of the city.
Three duck hunters in 1891 noted that a location along Galveston Bay, known locally as Shoal Point, had the potential to become a major port. Shoal Point had existed since the 1830s, when veterans of the Texas Revolution (1835–1836) were awarded home for their services. The publish was applied to the community as soon as a pronounce office opened in 1878. The duck hunters were three brothers from Duluth, Minnesota, named Benjamin, Henry, and Jacob Myers. After they returned to Duluth, they formed the Myers Brothers syndicate, convinced extra investors to put occurring money to buy 10,000 acres (4,000 hectares) of Galveston Bay frontage, including Shoal Point. They renamed the area Texas City.
By 1893, the investors had formed the Texas City Improvement Company (TCIC), which plotted and filed the townsite plan. A proclaim office opened in 1893 gone Frank B. Davison appointed as the town’s first postmaster, to help about 250 people who had moved there from Minnesota and Michigan. TCIC also normal permission from the federal supervision to dredge an eight-foot channel in the recess from Bolivar Roads (at the east decline of Galveston Island) to bolster Texas City. In 1894, the channel was first used commercially. TCIC eventually dredged the channel to a 40-foot extremity and lengthy the length of the harbor to 1.5 mi. TCIC in addition to built a 4-mi railroad to the Texas City Junction south of town, where it aligned to two additional rail lines: Galveston, Houston and San Antonio and Galveston-Houston and Henderson.
Despite these successes, the TCIC went bankrupt in 1897. Its assets were reorganized into two further companies: Texas City Company (TCC), and Texas City Railway Terminal Company (TCRTC). TCC acquired 3,000 city lots and provided water, gas, and electricity to the town. TCRTC operated the railroad. These companies were chartered on February 4, 1899.
A grid of streets and avenues was laid out during the 1890s, and houses and additional structures began to appear. The Davison Home, where the first childbirth in the town took place, was constructed between 1895 and 1897. As the TCIC, the TCC, and TCRTC expanded, urbanization expanded.
