<h1 style="text-align: center;">Missouri City, <em>Houston</em></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"></h1>
<p style="text-align: left;">In &nbsp;the &nbsp;17th century, &nbsp;a couple of real &nbsp;estate developers &nbsp;purchased &nbsp;the &nbsp;land that is &nbsp;now &nbsp;Missouri City and named it such &nbsp;in order to entice Saint Louis citizens to relocate there. &nbsp;Primarily a railroad center, the town became home to profitable farming and &nbsp;salt &nbsp;mining &nbsp;ventures. &nbsp; &nbsp;Locally, &nbsp;NASA &nbsp;and &nbsp;top &nbsp;oil &nbsp;companies &nbsp;have set &nbsp;up &nbsp;operations, &nbsp;adding &nbsp;to &nbsp;employment &nbsp;options. Throughout &nbsp;the years, &nbsp;people &nbsp;have &nbsp;found convenience in being able &nbsp;to &nbsp;quickly &nbsp;commute &nbsp;to Houston, &nbsp;when &nbsp;necessary. &nbsp; As such, the area has grown and become extremely diverse.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Within &nbsp;this &nbsp;city &nbsp;is &nbsp;a &nbsp;planned &nbsp;community &nbsp;called &nbsp;Lake &nbsp;Olympia. &nbsp; &nbsp;This &nbsp;neighborhood &nbsp;was &nbsp;developed &nbsp;with luxury &nbsp;in &nbsp;mind &nbsp;and provides &nbsp;exceptional &nbsp;options &nbsp;in &nbsp;real &nbsp;estate. &nbsp; &nbsp;Homes &nbsp;for &nbsp;sale &nbsp;in Missouri &nbsp;City &nbsp; &nbsp;are mostly &nbsp;single-family &nbsp;residences, &nbsp;as apartments &nbsp;and &nbsp;condos &nbsp;are &nbsp;not &nbsp;as &nbsp;abundant &nbsp;as &nbsp;they &nbsp;are &nbsp;in &nbsp;other towns &nbsp;around &nbsp;Houston. &nbsp; &nbsp;Thus, &nbsp;families &nbsp;make &nbsp;up &nbsp;the majority of the population here. &nbsp;Highways run right through town, giving a quick route into the bigger metro area and there are many options for business right in Missouri City.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">While Missouri City is mainly utilized as a place to live, fun things to do are always within reach. &nbsp;The Fort Bend County Fair is an annual event that spans over the course of ten days and provides endless fun with live bands and animals. &nbsp;There are many historical sites to peruse with scenic backdrops that make for great photo opportunities. &nbsp;Residents can go ride horses or travel over to one of the area's beaches to bask in the sun. Missouri City is serviced by Houston's community colleges. Two locations of the University of Houston and Wharton CountyJunior College are right down the road from all of the neighborhoods in Missouri City. &nbsp;The city has the benefit of being near to Sugar Land Regional and George Bush Intercontinental airports.</p>
