Texas City

Built around a deep-water port on Galveston Bay, Texas City grew into a major industrial and shipping centre on the Texas Gulf Coast. The Port of Texas City handles cargo beside a low-lying shoreline shaped by refineries, storage tanks and the broad bay. The Texas City Dike extends into Galveston Bay, supporting local fishing and boating while underlining the city’s close connection to the water. In 1947, the explosion of the French cargo ship Grandcamp in the port caused the Texas City disaster, among the deadliest industrial accidents in US history.
