About Houston
Houston is Texas's most populous city and the county seat of Harris County, with 2.3 million residents at the 2020 census, making it the fourth-largest city in the country by population. It lies in the southeast of the state, near Galveston Bay and the Gulf. Land investors founded Houston on August 30, 1836, where Buffalo Bayou and White Oak Bayou meet, and the city was incorporated on June 5, 1837. It is named for Sam Houston, the Republic of Texas's president and the victor at the Battle of San Jacinto. Its port, railroads, and the Houston Ship Channel helped fuel rapid growth in the 20th century.
Houston has no formal zoning, and voters turned down separate residential and commercial districts in 1948, 1962, and 1993. As a result, multiple districts and skylines grew across the city in addition to Downtown. Tunnels and skywalks totaling 11 km (seven miles) connect Downtown buildings. Skyscrapers went up through the 1970s, many by developer Gerald D. Hines, culminating in the 75-floor JPMorgan Chase Tower, completed in 1982, the tallest structure in Texas. Uptown boomed in the 1970s and early 1980s; its tallest building is Williams Tower, which has 64 floors and stands 275 m (901 ft) tall, designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee.

How tall do the Houston landmarks print?
