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.

Wuxue City, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Huanggang City, Hubei Province, China, is an important part of Wuhan city circle and a port city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The city has a total area of 1246 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 12 towns and 342villages (communities), with an area of 500000 mu of arable land and a total population of 830000. Wuxue City is located on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains and the edge of eastern Hubei. It has always been the "thoroughfare of three provinces and seven counties" in the adjoining areas of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangxi. Wuxue City, formerly known as Guangji County, was called "the Kingdom of Buddha" in ancient times, meaning "wide application of Buddhist dharma and universal aid to sentient beings". In 1987, with the approval of the State Council, the county was withdrawn and the city was established. Wuxue City has Wuxue Port, one of the ten deepwater ports on the Yangtze River, where the Beijing-Kowloon Railway, China's longest railway, and the entrance and exit of Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, the longest highway in China, meet here.
