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.

Ganluo County, which belongs to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province, is located in the southwest of Sichuan Province and in the north of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, across longitude 102 °27038 "~ 103 °011545" east and latitude 28 °38 "24" ~ 29 °1832 "north. It is bounded by Maanshan in the east, Ebian County and Jinkou River in Leshan City in the east, Meigu County and Yuexi County in the south, Shimian County in Ya'an City in the west, and Dadu River and Ya'an City in the north. The administrative area of the county covers an area of 2150.79 square kilometers, with a total of 190000 people by 2012. When the county was founded in December 1956, it was called Ganluo County. Because the pronunciation error between the word "Ga" and the original place name was too big, it was renamed Ganluo County in 1959 with the approval of the State Council. In September 2016, the State Council approved the addition of Ganluo County to the country.
