Allen's Landing Park

Houston's Birthplace



Address:
1001 Commerce St.
Houston, TX 77002

Description

Houston is a fast-paced, thoroughly modern city, but if you want to see where it all began Allen's Landing is the place to go. When the brothers John K. and Augustus Chapman Allen saw the area where the two bayous came together, they envisioned a vibrant port. Today the city still retains the same entrepreneurial spirit that invigorated the Allen brothers and inspired the development of what is now the fourth largest city in the nation.
