Galveston 10 of 10

The Hurricane of 1900 is what killed Galveston. Until 1900, Galveston was the largest city in Texas. After 1900, all of the industry moved inland to Houston.

During most of the 20th Century, Galveston was basically a tourist town. In 2008, Ike killed the tourist industry.

Galveston will eventually come back as a tourist town, but it will never be a major city.
