Highlights in History of the Port of Houston
The narrative traces Houston port milestones from 1837 when the Laura first navigated Buffalo Bayou under Captain Grayson to the 1914 formal opening of the Port of Houston to world commerce. It notes steamship links, wharf construction, Constitution Bend, the Texas Transportation Company railroad, and the 25-foot channel project funded by Harris County bonds, saved by local banks under Jesse H. Jones, concluding with the 1915 SS Satilla arrival marking ocean-going access.
