Review & FAQ:

Texas City is a small city located on the southeastern coast of Texas in Galveston County. Naturally, it offers an outlet to the Gulf of Mexico, and one of its most famous attractions is the Texas City Dike levee. This dike is the world’s longest man-made pier, which runs for more than five miles and has areas for fishing and picnicking along the water.

Texas City also celebrates its rich history with several museums, such as the Texas City Museum, and historic homes, such as the Davison Home and the Engineer’s Cottage, which provide memorials to the first Anglo-American settlements in the region.
