While New York might be home to some of the most renowned Fortune 500 companies, but one state is slowly creeping up behind it, ready to take on the tops spot when it comes to being the a global city. Not many people maybe aware of it but that city happens to be Houston, TX.

Aside from being a global city, Houston also boasts of being the fourth largest city in the US as well as the largest city in Texas, with a population of over 2.1 million. Its economy is supported by such industries as the energy, manufacturing, transportation, and aeronautics. The city came to be when, in 1836, two entrepreneurs by the name of Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen, bought the land located along the Buffalo Bayou. The place came to be known as Houston, named after Sam Houston who was a general involved in the Battle of San Jacinto.

Houston also plays home to the National Museum of Funeral History. It is also a must to experience such events as the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
