Day 1

galveston, texas

Departure: 16:30

Galveston is a coastal resort city on Galveston Island and Pelican Island in the U.S. state of Texas. Covering about 208.3 square miles (539 km²), it had a population of 47,762 people according to a 2012 Census estimate. It is the county seat and second-largest city in Galveston County and is part of the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metropolitan area. Named after Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid, Count of Gálvez, Galveston’s first European settlements were built on the island around 1816 by French pirate Louis-Michel Aury to support the Republic of Mexico in its struggle against Spain. The Port of Galveston was founded in 1825 by the Congress of Mexico after it gained independence from Spain. During the Texas Revolution, Galveston served as the main port for the Texas Navy and later became the capital of the Republic of Texas. In the 19th century, Galveston developed into a major U.S. commercial hub and one of the largest ports in the country. The city was devastated by the 1900 Galveston Hurricane, which caused severe flooding and a deadly storm surge. This natural disaster on the exposed barrier island remains the deadliest in U.S. history, with an estimated 6,000 to 12,000 deaths. Today, Galveston’s economy is driven largely by tourism, health care, shipping, and financial services. A key economic anchor is the 84-acre (340,000 m²) campus of the University of Texas Medical Branch, which enrolls more than 2,500 students. Galveston also features six historic districts and one of the largest, most significant collections of 19th-century buildings in the United States, with more than 60 structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
