Many of the first Houston settlers were from Southern states. The city began on August 30, 1836, when Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen ran an advertisement in the Telegraph and Texas Register for the Town of Houston. The townsite, which featured a mixture of timber and grassland, was on the level Coastal Plain in the middle of the future Harris County, Texas.
