Houston has traditionally always been an energy city. The energy industry, particularly oil, has made the Houston into the fourth most populous city in the nation, with the fourth largest city economy to go with it. All of this growth in the region is also owed in part to Houston’s prime position as a mover of goods. The Port of Houston ranks first in the country in international commerce and is the sixth largest port in the world. A lattice of interstates and local highways provide trucking routes in all directions servicing the continental U.S, Canada, and Mexico, and a significant railroad presence in the region supports the city’s freight shipping demand.
