Did you know?
Huntsville, Texas, is connected to Huntsville, Alabama? In the 1830s, Pleasant and Ephraim Gray founded the Texas city as a trading post, and because the Alabama city was the former home of the Grays, it was a natural fit to give it the same name.
General Sam Houston, the namesake of SHSU, is considered to be a military/political Texas hero and a strong advocate of education. Houston was in attendance when Austin Hall was dedicated in 1851, and also lived down the hill from the building (Huntsville became his home when he retired from the military). Houston served as the first and third president of the Republic of Texas, was a U.S. representative and senator, and served as the seventh governor of Texas.
Huntsville is best known as the home of the Texas State Penitentiary
Huntsville is home to seven prisons, more than 13,000 inmates, and the busiest execution chamber in the United States!
