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.

Luohe City, a municipality of Henan Province, is located on the southwest edge of the North China Plain. Funiu Mountain in the west and plain in the east is the joint of the second and third steps on the Chinese terrain; it is located on the southern edge of the warm temperate zone and belongs to the warm transitional monsoon climate. In the course of the year, there is an alternation of hot and cold and four distinct seasons. It has jurisdiction over 3 municipal districts and 2 counties with a total population of 2.8413 million in 2018. Luohe has a long history. The seven-tone bone flute, the national treasure unearthed at the Jiahu site, is the earliest musical instrument in the world; the oracle bone inscription symbol found 8000-9,000 years ago is the earliest written prototype in the world so far; the wine-making relics unearthed push the history of human wine-making to more than 9000 years ago; Xu Shen, who compiled the world's earliest dictionary Shuo Wen Jie Zi, also lived in this land.
