The history of the Port of Galveston spans 200 years, from a sandbar with a safe natural harbor to becoming America's fourth busiest cruise port today, earning its place as Texas' oldest working port despite hurricanes, wars, and economic challenges.

• Served as home to the Texas Navy when Texas was an independent republic
• Boomed as a cotton export hub and immigration gateway in the mid-1800s
• Also functioned as the largest slave trading market west of the Mississippi
• Site where Juneteenth originated when freedom orders arrived in 1865
• Survived the deadliest natural disaster in US history - the 1900 Hurricane
• Shifted from industrial shipping to cruise tourism as Houston's port rose
• Now welcomes over 1.5 million cruise passengers annually
• Demonstrates remarkable resilience through 200 years of adaptation
