Did you know?

Galveston is full of national history as well as the gateway for many who entered America

  • Galveston was dubbed the "Wall Street of the South" in the late 1880's
  • It was one of the largest cities in Texas until the 1900 storm
  • After the 1900 storm a new immigration station was opened on Pelican Island
  • Between 1906 and 1914 more than 50,000 immigrants arrived in Galveston
  • The original Customs House  built in 1861 still stands at the corner of 20th and Post Office
  • The 1700 Strand Building currently houses UTMB's Office of Innovation and Commercialization and the Galveston Economic Development Partnership
