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.

Dongxing District, which belongs to Neijiang City, Sichuan Province, is located in the central and southern part of Sichuan Basin and on the east bank of the middle reaches of the Tuojiang River. Dongxing District is bordered by Rongchang District to the east, Daan District and Longchang City to the south, Shizhong District to the west, and Zizhong County and Anyue County to the north. Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, Guangzhou-Chengdu Highway (National Highway 321) and Xiamen-Rong Expressway (G76) cross the border, 153km from Chengdu and 146km from Chongqing, with a total area of 1180.58 square kilometers. Dongxing District was once known as the "Sweet City" because of its rich sugar cane and developed sugar industry, and also known as the "hometown of calligraphy and painting" because of the emergence of the eldest son of Gongsun, the master of traditional Chinese painting Zhang Daqian, Zhang Shanzi, and the "news magnate" Fan Changjiang. At the end of 2019, Dongxing District has jurisdiction over 5 streets and 14 towns.
