Houston (/ˈhjuːstən/ (listen); HEW-stən) is the most populous city in Texas, the most populous city in the Southern United States, the fourth-most populous city in the United States, and the sixth-most populous city in North America, with a population of 2,304,580 in 2020. Located in Southeast Texas near Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, it is the seat and largest city of Harris County and the principal city of the Greater Houston metropolitan area, which is the fifth-most populous metropolitan statistical area in the United States and the second-most populous in Texas after Dallas–Fort Worth. Houston is the southeast anchor of the greater megaregion known as the Texas Triangle.

Comprising a land area of 640.4 square miles (1,659 km2), Houston is the ninth-most expansive city in the United States (including consolidated city-counties). It is the largest city in the United States by total area whose government is not consolidated with a county, parish, or borough. Though primarily in Harris County, small portions of the city extend into Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties, bordering other principal communities of Greater Houston such as Sugar Land and The Woodlands.

The city of Houston was founded by land investors on August 30, 1836, at the confluence of Buffalo Bayou and White Oak Bayou (a point now known as Allen's Landing) and incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837. The city is named after former General Sam Houston, who was president of the Republic of Texas and had won Texas's independence from Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto 25 miles (40 km) east of Allen's Landing. After briefly serving as the capital of the Texas Republic in the late 1830s, Houston grew steadily into a regional trading center for the remainder of the 19th century.

Chaotian District is the municipal district of Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, with 25 townships under the jurisdiction of the region, with a total population of 200000, an area of 1620 square kilometers and a cultivated land area of 260000 mu. It is the first political, economic and cultural center at the starting point of Shu Road in the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. It is known as "the important town of Qin and Shu" and "the gateway to northern Sichuan". According to legend, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty went to Shu to avoid the an-Shi Rebellion. Various states and counties greeted him here, calling it "the son of Heaven", hence the name "Chaotian", which extended to the meaning of "rising to Heaven". Chaotian has always been the government of Lizhou and Guangyuan (prefecture and county). After the founding of New China, it was under the jurisdiction of Guangyuan County. In 1989, with the approval of the State Council, Chaotian District of Guangyuan City was established. On September 25, 2018, he won the honorary title of "2018 e-commerce into rural comprehensive demonstration county" of the Ministry of Commerce. 2019 1
