== Symbolism ==
Characteristic of many cities in the Lone Star State of Texas, Houston’s flag bears a single large star, as well as a single star on the seal. The seal was adopted 24 February 1840. The locomotive on the seal, modern in its day, anticipates by about a decade the first railroad (Houston and Brazos Rail Road Company) in Houston and in Texas. The plow is said to represent the cultivation of fields for the important cash crop of cotton, which the railroads shipped to buyers.
== 2004 NAVA survey ==
The flag scored 4.55 / 55th out of 150 on the 2004 NAVA City Flag Survey, behind Memphis, and ahead of Raleigh.
