Tata penamaan jalan numerik di Manhattan, dibentuk sebagai bagian dari Commissioners' Plan of 1811, berawal di sebelah utara Houston Street dengan 1st Street di Avenue A, padahal penataan ini belum diberlakukan seluruhnya hingga 13th Street.[1]
"Houston" diucapkan sepert kombinasi kata "house" dan "ton", bukan seperti pengucapan nama kota Houston, Texas.[2]
