Fifteen miles south of Houston, at the mouth of the San Jacinto River, the City of Deer Park holds a distinction of which other Texas cities can only dream. Deer Park is known as "The birthplace of Texas" and makes no bones about promoting it. What chamber of commerce could resist?

While close may only count in horseshoes and hand grenades, Deer Park is well, close enough. The San Jacinto Battleground Museum and Historical Park is tucked neatly into of the pristine bays of the San Jacinto River directly on Deer Park's northeast side.
