Most outsiders assume Houston Street honors Texas hero Sam Houston. In truth, it’s named for William Houstoun — and New Yorkers pronounce it “HOW‑stən,” not “HEW‑stən.” Add Katz’s pastrami to the mix, and you’ve got one of Manhattan’s quirkiest stories.

Am 22. Oktober 1836, heute vor 187 Jahren, wurde Sam Houston Präsident der Republik Texas.
Ein halbes Jahr zuvor hatte Texas im Texanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg die Unabhängigkeit von Mexiko erlangt.
Houston blieb bis 1838 Präsident und hatte das Amt von 1841 bis 1844 erneut inne, bevor Texas 1845 als Bundesstaat Teil der USA wurde und Houston zwei weitere Jahre Gouverneur (1859–1861) war.

Sam Houston Jr. was born in 1843. He began service in the confederacy in 1861. On April 7, 1862, at the Civil War battle of Shiloh, Sam Houston Jr., son of the famous Texan, was struck in the back by a bullet. He was knocked to the ground and would likely have died had it not been for his mother’s Bible, which he carried in his knapsack. Ripping through the pages, the lead ball stopped directly over the 70th Psalm, which reads, “You are my help and my deliverer” (verse 5).
