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.

Mianning County, which belongs to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province, is located in the southwest of Sichuan Province, in the north of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, adjacent to Xiaoxiangling in the east, Xichang and Yanyuan in the south, Muli and Jiulong in the west, and Bodhisattva Gang and Shimian County in the north. The total area is 4420 square kilometers. Mianning is located in the Panxi Rift Valley, and the Anning River and Nanya River originate in the territory. The Yalong River winds through the southwest and is known as the rice granary on the banks of the Anning River. It is a "major county of national grain production" and "a big county for pig transfer". More than 30 kinds of minerals have been proved to be of mining value, among which the reserves of rare earths rank second in the country. Mianning is an old revolutionary base. In 24 (1935), after the long March of the Red Army passed through Mianning, the Red Army was established to enter Sichuan.
