What Century House covers
Places and property come first: neighborhoods, subdivisions, master-planned communities, municipal utility districts and other special districts, permits, flooding, utilities and property tax.
Food comes second: long-running restaurants, food districts, restaurant groups and the histories of Houston dishes. Government, public safety, education, health, sports, culture and history entries support both.
Coverage starts with Houston and Harris County. Fort Bend and Montgomery counties follow, then Brazoria and Galveston counties.
How entries are built
Each entry opens with a short Quick answer. Facts come from primary sources first: government records, official websites and published documents. Each entry lists its sources with the date they were accessed and shows when it was last verified.
The editorial standards and methodology pages explain the rules in full.
What Century House does not publish
No ratings, reviews or best-of lists. Restaurant entries do not list hours or menus; they link to the restaurant’s own website, where those details stay current. Any paid placement from another business is labeled Sponsored.
Who publishes it
Century House is published by Century House, Houston, Texas, and written by Century House Editors. Where the publisher has an ownership interest in a business that appears on the site, that page says so. See Ownership and disclosure.
