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.

Ziyang, a prefecture-level city in Sichuan Province, Ziyang County under the jurisdiction of ancient Zizhou (current capital), ancient writers Kui Hong, Dong Jun and Wang Bao are also known as the "three sages of Ziyang". Lezhi is the hometown of Marshal Chen Yi, the founding father of the country. It is located in the middle of Sichuan Basin, adjacent to the Neijiang River in the south, Chengdu and Deyang in the north, Chongqing and Suining in the east and Meishan in the west. It is the only regional central city in Sichuan Province that connects the "double core" of Chengdu and Chongqing at the same time. Ziyang County in the Western Han Dynasty in 135 BC, followed by states and counties, has a history of more than 2100 years. 35000 years ago, the ancient "Ziyang people" opened the history of human civilization in Sichuan. On February 26, 1998, Ziyang District was established with the approval of the State Council, and on June 14, 2000, Ziyang District was abolished with the approval of the State Council.
