Discover Texas City
The site was known as Shoal Point in the 1830s, when Texas Revolution veterans received land there, and a post office opened under that name in 1878. In 1891 three duck hunters, the brothers Benjamin, Henry and Jacob Myers of Duluth, Minnesota, judged that Shoal Point could become a major port. Their syndicate bought 10,000 acres of Galveston Bay frontage and renamed the area Texas City, and by 1893 the Texas City Improvement Company had platted the townsite. The dredged channel was first used commercially in 1894, the first oceangoing ship arrived on September 28, 1904, and dredging was finished and a customs house opened on March 19, 1905.
More about Texas City
Texas City incorporated on September 16, 1911. In 1913 the Army's 2nd Division camped there to guard the Gulf Coast during the Mexican Revolution, until a hurricane destroyed the camp in August 1915. Refineries followed, including Republic Oil in 1931 and Pan American in 1934, and in World War II the plants ran at full capacity and the government built a tin smelter and a styrene plant. On April 16, 1947, the French ship Grandcamp, loaded with ammonium nitrate fertilizer, exploded at the docks and set off fires and more explosions; 581 people were killed and more than 5,000 injured in what is generally regarded as the worst industrial accident in U.S. history. On March 23, 2005, an explosion at the BP refinery killed 15 workers and injured 180. Sources Wikipedia: Texas City, Texas
