East End: The Birthplace of Houston

1505 St. Emmanuel,

Houston, Tx 77003



Houston's East End district carries special meaning in the Bayou City's history. It held the government seat for the Republic of Texas in 1836, and as such, the East End regards itself as the birthplace of Houston. the East End is home to the Second Ward and Magnolia Park, two of Houston's oldest Hispanic neighborhoods. Talento Bilingue de Houston, The Orange Show Center for Visionary Art, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, and the Original Ninfa’s on Navigation are among its notable landmarks. Jesse Sifuentes, with Eastwood Academy students and faculty, created the East End tile mural located at 6635 Harrisburg Boulevard, on the side of the Rex Supply Co. building.
