enable's ask it this way - why does Texas pronounce their city HYOOS-tun? inspite of each little thing, William Houstoun (highway's namesake, inspite of the misspelling) became around long in the past Sam Houston. domicile-tun got here first. some would desire to even flow so a strategies as to declare, why do Houstonians could flow and be distinctive? William Houstoun became a correct American parent in the past Sam Houston became even born - actually. The names of the line and the city are spelled an identical way basically with the aid of fact they misspelled Houstoun's call while they named the line. The names have been spelled in yet in any different case, so it is not outstanding that they are suggested in yet in any different case besides. No concern with that.
