Houston was founded in 1836 by the Allen brothers and expanded around Buffalo Bayou; the city’s growth into an energy and cultural center left a layered urban core used in the hunt.
Conservation
Buffalo Bayou restoration and urban park projects emphasize flood mitigation and native plantings—respect park rules and avoid littering to support these efforts.
