Many small and large towns and cities across the United States are rich with some amazing history. La Porte, Texas is no different. It was here that the infamous Battle of San Jacinto took place, essentially giving Texas its independence from Mexico. A hurricane in 1900 struck Galveston and damaged many of the surrounding regions and their key attractions, including those at La Porte. Although it was founded in 1892, it became more famous during the 1920s and '30s because of the Sylvan Beach Amusement Park, which was nationally recognized. When you book an RV in Harris County, you won’t have to go far to find some amazing destinations.
