HISTORY

The Galleria Mall itself was developed in 1970 and is one of the largest malls in the USA. The Uptown area, initially a grubby outpost on the fringes of Houston, began improving and developing in the 1960s. By 1987, Uptown had overtaken commercial district rivals in many major cities in terms of office space and employees.

Tanglewood, previously a coastal prairie, took root earlier in 1930, officially opening in 1949.
