  • Resumen

  • Let's take a look into how Galveston Island transformed from a commercial powerhouse in the mid-1800s into the "Playground of the Southwest." From a yachting adventure in 1842, the impact of the railroad in the 1850s, and the rise of health tourism in the 1880s with luxurious resorts like the Pagoda Bathhouse, the island's resilience after the 1900 storm, the emergence of iconic venues like Electric Park and the Hotel Galvez, and its evolution into a top tourist destination today, complete with beautiful beaches, historic districts, and vibrant cultural attractions.
