Clear Lake City, Texas

Clear Lake City is a suburb in southeast Houston that has now been annexed to Houston.

Clear Lake City has been annexed for more than 20 years, yet the culture in this area is still separate from the general Houstonian culture. Clear Lake City is home to NASA's Johnson Space Center, as well as other major aeronautics companies. Clear Lake City is a very diverse area, and has one of the largest Asian communities in the city of Houston.

The area also known as Clear Lake City is made up of a few cities. These include Friendswood, Nassau Bay, Seabrook, El Lago, Kemah, and includes parts of Houston, League City, Webster and Pasadena.

Clear Lake City is named, of course, for Clear Lake, a lake which empties into Galveston Bay. Nasa Road One extends from one side of the lake to the other.
