North Houston is a community located in Harris County, Texas, in the United States. It's a special kind of place called an "unincorporated community."

North Houston used to be a separate community, but now it's considered part of the wider Harris County region.

About North Houston

North Houston is found in the large and busy Harris County. This county is home to many different communities and the big city of Houston. Being an unincorporated community means that local services like police, fire, and roads are usually managed by the county government, not by a separate city hall for North Houston itself. This setup is common in many parts of Texas and the United States.
