Flag of the City of Houston

The flag of Houston is the official flag of the city of Houston. It consists of a large white five-pointed star on a blue background with the city's seal set within the star. The flag was adopted in 1915.

The city seal was adopted in 1840. It depicts a 4-4-0 locomotive, ironically before any railroad reached Houston.[1]
