Houston, Pennsylvania
Houston is a borough in Washington County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 1,165 at the 2020 census.
Students in Houston and neighboring Chartiers Township attend school in the Chartiers-Houston School District.
Houston is located at 40°14′59″N 80°12′37″W / 40.24972°N 80.21028°W (40.249790, -80.210275).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of 0.4 square miles (1.0 km2), all land. Several waterways go through Houston:
Houston has three borders, including Chartiers Township to the north, south and west, Canonsburg to the northeast, and North Strabane Township to the east and southeast.
The land on which this town stands was part of a tract purchased from John Haft on January 24, 1827, by Daniel Houston, a near relative of Gen. Sam Houston, leader of the Texans in their war for independence from Mexico. After the Chartiers Valley Railroad was completed through that section in 1871, David C. Houston, a son of Daniel Houston, saw the possibilities of a town at that point and laid out the present plan of Houstonville. The first house in the new town was completed in the summer of 1871 by A. T. Haft and the second by J. C. Johnson. A few years later H. E. Riggle laid out a plan adjoining which was called Riggletown. On May 13, 1901, The Borough of Houston was incorporated from land of Chartiers & North Strabane Townships.
As of the census of 2000, there were 1,314 people, 614 households, and 340 families residing in the borough. The population density was 3,581.7 inhabitants per square mile (1,382.9/km2). There were 668 housing units at an average density of 1,820.8 per square mile (703.0/km2). The racial makeup of the borough was 94.44% White, 3.65% African American, 0.08% Native American, 0.53% Asian, 0.15% from other races, and 1.14% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.38% of the population.
There were 614 households, out of which 22.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 38.4% were married couples living together, 12.5% had a female householder with no husband present, and 44.6% were non-families. 39.6% of all households were made up of individuals, and 19.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
