Texas City Description |
|
Texas City is a city in Galveston County in the U.S. state of Texas within the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown metropolitan area. As of the 2000 U.S. Census, the city population was 41,521 (though the 2005 census estimate placed the population at 44,274). History Founded in the late 19th century by Frank Davison, who became its first grocer and postmaster, this explosion-prone city suffered from the Texas City disaster on April 16, 1947, generally regarded as the worst industrial accident in U.S. history, an ammonium nitrate explosion which killed over 500. It recovered quite well from the accident (several refineries are located in Texas City) and has at times referred to itself as "The Town that would not die".
