Texas City, a part of the Mainland Texas Gulf Coast area since before the turn of the century, has a colorful, interesting story to tell.

The city has survived one of the worst man-made disasters that ever happened in America, the explosions of the S.S. Grandcamp and S.S. High Flyer in 1947; five major hurricanes; two depressions; and two world wars in which it played a significant part.

It's history includes Indians, the pirate Jean LaFitte, the First Aero Squadron of the U.S. Army, the exciting early oil boom days, and the growth of one of our nation's great industrial complexes.
