Name
The Clear Lake region is named, as it implies, for Clear Lake, a brackish lake that empties into Galveston Bay. The lake is fed by Clear Creek and empties into Galveston Bay.
The name "Clear Lake" is often used in a variety of ways depending on the source. Apart from referring to the lake itself or the region defined by the chamber of commerce, the name can refer to the Clear Lake City residential development, the Clear Lake area of Houston (a Houston "superneighborhood" including Clear Lake City, Johnson Space Center, and surrounding areas), the Clear Lake area of Pasadena, and other geographies as well.
