The genesis of Houston began as The Allen brothers—Augustus and John Allen—explored Buffalo Bayou and Galveston Bay for potential land sites to establish a new town in 1837. Their investment of less than $5,000 seems incredulous as one now looks at one of the most beautiful cities in the United States. Houston is indeed a city of international renown and boasts some marvelous landmarks. Guests to Houston will want to give themselves plenty of time to take in the sights and sounds. ​ All-in-all, Houston landmarks are more than worthy of the time and effort it would take to see and appreciate their beauty.
