Dickinson is located on a tract of land granted to John Dickinson in 1824, and named after him. A settlement had been established in this area on&nbsp;Dickinson Bayou&nbsp;before 1850. The Galveston, Houston, and Henderson Railroad was built directly through Dickinson. This line was used in the&nbsp;American Civil War&nbsp;to successfully retake Galveston.
The Dickinson Land and Improvement Association was organized in the 1890s by Fred M. Nichols and eight other businessmen. It marketed to potential farmers with claims of the soil's suitability for food crops, and to socialites with the creation of the Dickinson Picnic Grounds and other attractions. By 1911, the&nbsp;Galveston&ndash;Houston Electric Railway&nbsp;had three stops in Dickinson, and the Oleander Country Club was a popular destination for prominent Galvestonians.
In 1905, Italian&nbsp;ambassador&nbsp;Baron Mayor des Planches convinced about 150 Italians from crowded eastern cities to move to Dickinson. They joined the dozens relocated there after flooding in&nbsp;Bryan&nbsp;forced them to seek new homes.
Dickinson continued to grow due to its proximity to Texas City, with its shipyards and wartime industries, and later its proximity to the Johnson Space Center.
During the 1920s, Dickinson became a significant tourist destination resulting from investment by the Maceo crime syndicate which ran Galveston during this time. The syndicate created gambling venues in the city such as the Silver Moon casino.
The City of Dickinson constructed a new multimillion-dollar city hall and library complex which was dedicated June 30, 2009. The complex is located at 4403 Highway 3.
In May 2009 the city began hosting a crawfish festival, called the Red, White and Bayou crawfish festival. The city decided in 2018 not to continue with the festival.
In August 2017, Dickinson was devastated by&nbsp;Hurricane Harvey. Ninety percent of the city was flooded during the storm and 50% was destroyed by flooding.

Baytown is a city within Harris County and partially in Chambers County in the Gulf Coast region of the U.S. state of Texas. Located within the Houston&ndash;The Woodlands&ndash;Sugar Land metropolitan area, it lies on the northern side of the Galveston Bay complex near the outlets of the San Jacinto River and Buffalo Bayou.
White American&nbsp;settlers first arrived in the now-Baytown area in 1822.&nbsp;One of its earliest settlers was Nathaniel Lynch, who set up a ferry crossing at the junction of the San Jacinto River and Buffalo Bayou. The still-operating ferry service is known as the&nbsp;Lynchburg Ferry. Other early settlers of Baytown included William Scott, one of&nbsp;Stephen F. Austin's&nbsp;Old Three Hundred, and&nbsp;Ashbel Smith, who owned a&nbsp;plantation in the area. The city now known as Baytown was originally three separate towns. The first of these was Goose Creek, named for the bayou of the same name where&nbsp;Canada geese&nbsp;wintered and whose name is still reflected in the area's&nbsp;Goose Creek school district, whose establishment dates back to before 1850. With the discovery of the&nbsp;Goose Creek Oil Field, the rival communities of Pelly in the late 1910s, and East Baytown in the early 1920s, developed as early&nbsp;boomtowns. The "East" in East Baytown was later dropped because it was west of Goose Creek. The city of Baytown is located at the mouth of the&nbsp;San Jacinto River&nbsp;on&nbsp;Galveston Bay, 26 miles (42&nbsp;km) by road east of&nbsp;Houston. According to the&nbsp;United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 36.5 square miles (94.6&nbsp;km2), of which 35.4 square miles (91.8&nbsp;km2) is land and 1.1 square miles (2.8&nbsp;km2), 2.92%, is covered by water.
Baytown is located on the&nbsp;Gulf coastal plain, and its vegetation is classified as temperate grassland and&nbsp;marshes. The municipalities have been built on reclaimed marshes,&nbsp;swamps, and&nbsp;prairies, which are all still visible in undeveloped parts of the Galveston Bay area.&nbsp;Baytown is bordered by water on three sides. Along the south and west is Galveston Bay. On the east is&nbsp;Cedar Bayou. The city is roughly bordered along the north by&nbsp;Interstate 10. Portions of the city to the east of Cedar Bayou lie in&nbsp;Chambers County. Flatness of the local terrain and proximity to the bay have made flooding&nbsp;a recurring problem for the area.&nbsp;Baytown and surrounding communities once relied on&nbsp;groundwater&nbsp;for its needs, but severe land&nbsp;subsidence&nbsp;has forced much the city to turn to ground-level water sources.

League City is a city in Galveston County, Texas, within the Greater Houston metropolitan area. As of the 2010 census, League City's population was 83,560, up from 45,444 at the 2000 census. The city has a small portion north of Clear Creek within Harris County zoned for residential and commercial uses.

League City

Bellaire is a city in southwest Harris County, Texas, United States, within the Houston&ndash;Sugar Land&ndash;Baytown metropolitan area. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, the city population was 16,855. It is surrounded by the cities of Houston and West University Place. Bellaire was founded in 1908 by William Wright Baldwin, who was the president of the South End Land Company. Baldwin, a native of&nbsp;Iowa, was well known as the vice president of the&nbsp;Burlington Railroad. Bellaire was founded on what was part of&nbsp;William Marsh Rice's 9,449 acres (38.24&nbsp;km2)&nbsp;ranch. Baldwin surveyed the eastern 1,000 acres (4.0&nbsp;km2) of the ranch into small truck farms. He named those farms "Westmoreland Farms". Baldwin started Bellaire in the middle of "Westmoreland Farms" to serve as a residential neighborhood and an agricultural trading center. South End Land Company advertised to farmers in the&nbsp;Midwestern United States. Baldwin stated that the town was named "Bellaire", or "Good&nbsp;Air" for its breezes. Bellaire may have been named after&nbsp;Bellaire, Ohio, a town served by one of Baldwin's rail lines.
Bellaire's housing lots are 75 feet (23&nbsp;m) by 130 feet (40&nbsp;m), allowing for houses larger than those that could be built on typical 50 feet (15&nbsp;m) by 120 feet (37&nbsp;m) West University Place lots. A Bellaire lot can accommodate a house with a detached garage and a swimming pool, while the typical West University Place lot could accommodate a newly constructed&nbsp;Georgian&nbsp;house described by Don Stowers of the&nbsp;Houston Post&nbsp;as "lot-hugging." The more spacious and inexpensive housing lots prompted area home seekers to consider Bellaire.
The original Bellaire housing stock typically consisted of 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom post-World War II&nbsp;houses described by Stowers as "smallish." Because of the attributes, developers did not hesitate to tear these houses down and build new houses. Some individuals chose to renovate their houses instead of having them torn down. Many individuals who would otherwise renovate the houses reconsidered their decisions as the land value increased. In some cases the land value was higher than the value of the structure on the lot. Some subdivisions had larger houses, particularly the Carroll subdivision south of&nbsp;Bellaire Boulevard&nbsp;and the Braeburn Country Club Estates subdivision between Chimney Rock and Rice. Many of the houses in those subdivisions were built in the 1950s and early 1960s, and many were on .5 acres (0.20&nbsp;ha) lots. Karl Lewis, the vice president and sales manager of John Daugherty Realtors, said that many of the houses were "still quite attractive" and "similar to the large&nbsp;Tanglewood&nbsp;homes." In 1992 smaller lots in Bellaire were about $50,000 ($92210.1 in today's money) and up, while larger lots were $300,000 ($553260.61 in today's money) to $500,000 ($922101.02 in today's money).

In the mid-1970s, the neighboring city of Hitchcock attempted to annex the Morningview neighborhood in eastern Alta Loma, to which the neighborhood residents were opposed. To avoid annexation, a petitioning effort was begun to incorporate the area into a new city. On January 21, 1978, a ballot proposal to incorporate Alta Loma and parts of Arcadia (a total of nine square miles) passed by a wide margin, and the city of Santa Fe was born. In the years since, Santa Fe has grown to include all of Arcadia and parts of Algoa, and has become an affluent area of Galveston County.
On February 14, 1981, the Ku Klux Klan hosted a fish fry on a private farm in Santa Fe to protest the growing presence of Vietnamese shrimpers in the Gulf. During the event, a Vietnamese fishing boat was ceremonially burned. That controversy, as well as similar conflicts in nearby port towns like Rockport, led to a decision of the United States District Court, S.D. Texas, Houston Division Vietnamese Fishermen's Association v. Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and also served as the basis for the 1985 Ed Harris film Alamo Bay.
On June 19, 2000, the Supreme Court ruled that the Santa Fe Independent School District's policy of permitting "student-led, student-initiated" prayer at football games and other school events violated the Constitution's prohibitions against the establishment of state religion.
On the morning of May 18, 2018, a 17 year old student&nbsp;mass shooting&nbsp;occurred at&nbsp;Santa Fe High School, killing ten students and faculty and injuring thirteen others. Students and faculty evacuated the building when a fire alarm was activated. Dimitrios Pagourtzis is awaiting trial for ten counts of&nbsp;capital murder&nbsp;for the shooting.

Hitchcock was created as a station of the railroad between Galveston and Houston in 1873 and around the turn of the 20th century became a vegetable shipping center. The settlement's economy crashed in the 1930s after insect plagues in the surrounding areas, and the area stayed impoverished until the establishment of the Camp Wallace anti-aircraft training base and the Hitchcock Naval Air Station at the beginning of World War II. After the end of the war, the bases were used as discharge centers, and some former soldiers settled in the area. Hitchcock was established in 1960 as the area's population boomed, topping out at nearly 7,000 by the end of the 1960s. Today, the town serves as a suburb of Galveston and houses workers from the Johnson Space Center.
Since 1984, Hitchcock has been home to the Galveston County Fair &amp; Rodeo. The Galveston County Fair &amp; Rodeo began in 1938 and was held at facilities in Runge Park in Arcadia. In the early 1980s, the County Fair had reached its limits of growth at Runge Park, and plans began for a move to Jack Brooks Park in Hitchcock. The move to Jack Brooks Park was completed in time for the 1984 fair.
Hitchcock was affected by&nbsp;Hurricane Ike&nbsp;in 2017. The director of community development, D. Joe Wood, stated that&nbsp;bankruptcy&nbsp;was a possibility in the post-Hurricane environment.

Deer Park was founded in 1892 by Simeon H. West, a farmer, retired legislator, and much-traveled adventurer from Illinois. He named the town for the large number of deer that roamed the Gulf plains. A railroad station opened later that year and a post office followed in 1893.
The subdivision was established in 1893 and was the site of a Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway station by about 1894. A Deer Park post office was established in 1893, discontinued in 1919, and reestablished in 1930. In 1896, the community, with a population of forty, had a hotel, a general store, and three resident carpenters. By 1922 Deer Park had dwindled down to almost nothing with four houses, one little schoolhouse, and an old hotel with a few scattered shacks along the railroad right-of-way. 1928 brought in Shell Oil Company breaking ground on a new refinery. In the 1930s, an independent school district was established. By 1940, the population had grown to 100. By 1946, however, the area began to flourish as Deer Park became the site of refineries and toluene plants for the production of TNT.
The citizens of Deer Park voted to incorporate on December 12, 1948, and a few weeks later Earl E. Dunn became the first mayor. Because of the 1948 incorporation, Houston did not incorporate Deer Park's territory into its city limits. The first city council meeting was held on February 7, 1949. The population had grown to 700 by 1948, to 5,000 by 1960 with a fire station, city hall, playground parks and an independent city water supply. A public library was begun in 1962. Population was 12,773 in 1970, and 28,520 in 2000. This growth has been fueled by the growth of the petrochemical industry as well as the growth of business along the Houston Ship Channel. Deer Park has a school district with 14 campuses, a city library, community theater, municipal court building, three fire stations, numerous city parks and recreational facilities, state-of-the-art water and sewer processing facilities, a post office, several hotels, 14 major industries as well as several light industrial companies. Today, Deer Park has approximately 9,000 homes and more than 30,000 residents.
It is near the site of the&nbsp;Battle of San Jacinto, where, on April 21, 1836, Texas won its independence from Mexico. Because the initial surrender treaty after the battle was signed in Dr. George Moffitt Patrick's cabin, Deer Park bills itself as the "Birthplace of Texas". The original cabin was located on&nbsp;Buffalo Bayou&nbsp;where&nbsp;Rohm and Haas&nbsp;now has a chemical plant in Deer Park. A replica of Dr. Patrick's cabin is in front of the Theatre/Courts Building on Center Street.
