Houston jet charter information
Home to nearly 2.3 million Texans, Houston is larger than life. Founded in 1836 and incorporated in 1837, the city was named after the president of the Republic of Texas, former General Sam Houston.
During World War II, Houston played a big part in supplying petroleum and synthetic rubber products to the defence industry. Along with the creation of these products, Houston residents also built numerous ships for the US Navy to aid in the war efforts.
Houston is also a huge healthcare hub. The Texas Medical Center, created in 1945, is the world's largest concentration of medical and healthcare research institutions. When Hurricane Katrina rolled through New Orleans, Houston opened its arms and health care institutions to nearly 150,000 hurricane survivors.
It's also where the Mission Control Center for NASA is located, hence the infamous saying, "Houston, we have a problem."
