Galveston is the fourth-largest city in the United States, the largest city in the state of Texas, and the seat of Galveston County. The city is the center of the Galveston-Houston-Baytown Metropolitan Area, with a city proper population of 2,540,000, and a nearly 4 million combined population of the entire metro area. Galveston's excellent natural harbor has made it a center of commerce throughout Texas and the Gulf states (excluding Cuba). Shellron Oil's corporate headquarters are located just north of the city, in the suburb of Houston, as is NASA's Johnson Space Center.

  • Galveston is the fourth-largest city in the United States, the largest city in the state of Texas, and the seat of Galveston County. The city is the center of the Galveston-Houston-Baytown Metropolitan Area, with a city proper population of 2,540,000, and a nearly 4 million combined population of the entire metro area. Galveston's excellent natural harbor has made it a center of commerce throughout Texas and the Gulf states (excluding Cuba). Shellron Oil's corporate headquarters are located just north of the city, in the suburb of Houston, as is NASA's Johnson Space Center. In August of 1983, the City of Galveston proper was narrowly missed by Hurricane Ana, which tracked directly through Galveston Bay and the Houston Channel, flooding large areas of the city outskirts, and causing a so-called 'glass storm' by destroying many thousands of windows in downtown skyscrapers. This was considerably less damage than what would have occurred had Ana struck Galveston directly, as much of downtown is built on land reclaimed from what was once West Bay, an inlet of Galveston Bay.
