| Texas declared its independence on March 2, 1836, but was not immediately successful in its efforts to get the United States to recognize it as a Republic. The Battle of the Alamo on March 6 unified the people of the Republic, and then on April 21, Texas independence was established when the Texan army under General Sam Houston defeated the Mexican army under Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto. The city was named in honor of the great general. Today 19 Fortune 500 companies are based in Houston. | |
