- Houston was officially recorded in 1853 and was named for Leonard Houston, one of the early settlers.
- At one time Houston was booming. Businesses included: general stores, blacksmiths, doctors, saloons, drug store, mill, livestock stable, undertaker, and a country lawyer. These establishments are no longer operating in Houston.
- Houston is fortunate that Salt Creek Winery opened nearby in 2010. This winery is known for winning awards in Indiana. The Blackberry is my personal favorite.
- Houston is a place where you seem to go back in time and can escape from the fast-pace of city life.
- A tiny village located in a valley surrounded by timbered hills whose autumn colors and inspiration are unmatched for scenic beauty and peaceful living.
- I am proud to call Houston, Indiana my hometown.
