SUMMARY:Home Sweet Home: Greater Houston Subdivisions and Neighborhoods
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 1836\, brothers Augustus Chapman and John Kirby 
 Allen founded the town of Houston at the confluence of Buffalo Bayou and 
 White Oak Bayou. Shortly after\, they advertised the area in the Telegraph 
 and Texas Register as “handsome and beautifully elevated\,” where 
 settlers could enjoy “the sea breeze in all its freshness.” The Allen 
 Brothers' descriptions may have been misleading\, bu they were effective 
 for attracting settlers and immigrants with the promise of a fresh start\, 
 cheap land\, and economic opportunities.\n\nHouston has steadily grown from 
 a fledgling town in the Republic of Texas into the fourth-largest 
 metropolis in the United States. Home Sweet Home explores the creation of a 
 selection of Greater Houston subdivisions\, neighborhoods\, and cities by 
 featuring historical maps\, brochures\, postcards\, and photographs.\n\n
