Since 1913

A short history of Houston

The Town was first incorporated in 1913, right before a local election was to be held. A total of five Commissioners were elected for a total of a two-year term. Other positions within the town were also voted on, including a clerk, treasurer, tax collector, alderman, and town constable. From then on, these elected figures would meet four times every year, to pass ordinances and rules to govern the town, including tax regulations.
