"IN 1835, Houstonian Gail Borden Jr. co-founded what historians say is the state’s first continuously published newspaper, the Telegraph and Texas Register.
Originally published at San Felipe de Austin, nine days after the Texas Revolution began, it provided a detailed contemporaneous account of Texas’ struggle for independence. Its accounts of the Alamo, Goliad and San Jacinto are still cited by historians.

"Cottonseed and cotton linters, earlier discarded, became valuable products as the cottonseed oil business emerged with the new industrial focus on chemical production.

Within the United States they established autonomous buying units in Los Angeles, Charlotte, Atlanta, and memphis; and to assure quick delivery they built warehouses and compressed in Houston and New Orleans.

It has attracted labor and capital and allowed the evolution of the city as a distribution point, as well as a manufacturing and financial center. Therefore, even though the growth of Houston resulted from many factors-natural resources, location, climate, city leadership-the channel has been vital. The sobriquet, "The Bayou City," thus, more than any other, characterizes this leading urdban community of the Southwest." (Frantz, p.3)
