Northwest Houston is bounded to the north by the historical venues of Sam Houston’s birthplace in Huntsville; to the northwest by Tomball, home of the Spring Creek County Historical Museum Complex; to the southeast by the San Jacinto Monument near the Ship Channel and Sam Houston Park in downtown Houston.
