Question:"I don't understand H-town. Was Houston once Houstontown? Was it H-ton and it's morphed into H-town? Please explain."Houston was never referred to as Houstontown or H-town. The nickname H-Town started to become commonly used in the 90s. It is speculated 'H-Town' was introduced by a local R&B group called H-Town at the time. Additionally, the Arena Theater was referred to as the H-Town Arena.Copyright 2019 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.
