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.

Linxi County is a county under the jurisdiction of Xingtai City, Hebei Province, which is located in the southeast of Hebei Province and in the east of Xingtai City. Beijing-Kowloon Railway, Xinglin Expressway and Xinglin Highway run through the county, which is the east gate of Xingtai City and the bridgehead of Jilu. The administrative area covers an area of 542square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 6 towns, 3 townships, 6 communities and 299 administrative villages, with a resident population of 352900 (2016). The county people's government is stationed in Zhujiang Road, Linxi Town. The Han Dynasty bought Qingyuan County (now facing the west). The Northern Wei Dynasty changed its name to Linqing County. After the Jin and Yuan dynasties, the county government moved to Shuidong (now Linqing), which became the Hexi part of Linqing County. In 1964, five districts to the west of Wei Canal in Linqing County were established as Linxi County. Celebrities such as Wang Yanchao in the Northern Song Dynasty, Xie Zhen, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Yulan, a national labor model, have emerged in the history of Linxi County.
