The Houston Ship Channel was dredged 25 meters long and opened to ships on the seas on 10 November 1914 paving to a world-class commercial port at Texas
• The Texas oil boom, sometimes known as a gusher age, marked the beginning of the 20th century with the finding of a huge oil reserve near Beaumont in Texas. Texas experienced sizeable changes and economic growth. The discovery was remarkable worldwide and marked the beginning of a era of accelerated national growth and industrialisation.
