Galveston sort of (arguably) invented the modern beauty contest. They began a competition at an event called Splash Day in 1920 which eventually became the international Pageant of Pulchritude event. Miss America started completely independently and, so far as I am aware, never had any direct connection although it would seem that it must have been inspired by Galveston's success.
