Port of Houston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"History:
The citizens of Harris County, Texas approved creation of the Port in 1909, believing that an inland port would better serve the region after the destructive Galveston Hurricane of 1900. The Port was officially opened to traffic on November 10, 1914. Early supporters would prove to be correct; the Port has grown to be one of the world's largest, while the nearby Port of Galveston has dwindled in significance."
