In Harris County, La Porte is located just southeast of Houston along Hwy 146 on the northwest shore of Trinity Bay, the inland extension of Galveston Bay. The consolidation of Lomax with La Porte in 1980 and the growth of Fairmont Park enhanced the prosperity of the city. Although the population of La Porte continued to grow during the 1980s, its residents still considered it a small recreational community. In 1990 La Porte had a population of 27,910. La Porte is part of the Houston, Texas metro area.
