==History==
The Family History Library has city directories for as early as 1856 for Galveston, Austin (1857), Houston (1866), and San Antonio and Fort Worth, Texas (1877).  
Directories are alphabetical lists of names and addresses. These often list all the adult residents of a city or an area. They are similar to modern telephone books. Beside addresses and occupations, they may also give locations of streets and voting districts which will help you locate other records.


Directories of heads of households have been published for major cities in Utah. Some directories cover several cities.
Directories of heads of households have also been published for some cities in Texas. These and other directories can be found in the Family History Library Catalog by using a Place Search under:
