Galveston, Texas
    Galvaston is one of my favorite cities of all time. I just love the mild weather and ocean breeze of it. It just so beautiful! Galvaston, Texas was charted in 1839 as the principle port and gateway of the Southwest. The city supplied many things including money, edible goods, and transportation necessary to the state. Back in 1836, Galveston, Texas was a major immigrant port for a quarter million Europeans. This populated Galveston even more which helped there economy.
    Nowadays, Galveston is doing quite well in the upper Texas coast of the Gulf of Mexico and occupies pretty much all of the population of the 32 mile long island which is located about 2 miles off of the Texas mainland. Its economy supports Galveston very much, and I hope it always does.
