La Marque

La Marque straddles the mainland corridor west of Galveston Bay in southeast Texas, and that position has tied the city to the transport routes and working communities of Galveston County. Founded around a station on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway, it developed away from the island resorts, amid the low, humid terrain of the Gulf Coastal Plain. Interstate 45 runs by La Marque on the route between Houston and Galveston, while Texas City’s port and industrial waterfront lie to the east. This is a coast shaped as much by shipping, refining and hurricanes as by beach tourism.
