The Texas Oil Boom began in the early 1900s. By 1920, refinery operations had appeared in Pasadena and continued to expand. Both world wars contributed to the city’s industrial development. By the mid-1900s, Pasadena's economy had become strongly tied to petroleum and other heavy industry, as well as NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC). Today, Pasadena’s primary economic sectors include exploration for petroleum and gas, petroleum refining, petrochemical processing, maritime shipping, aerospace, and healthcare. The nearby Bayport Industrial District, one of the nation's largest chemical processing complexes, is vital to Pasadena’s employment.
