What is Beyoncé’s birthplace in Texas?

Beyoncé was born in Houston, Texas, on September 4, 1981. Her birthplace is one of the most frequently cited biographical facts about the singer, whose full name is Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter.

She grew up in Houston and attended local schools while developing as a performer. Her mother, Tina Knowles, designed clothing for her performances, and her father, Mathew Knowles, later managed her early career. Houston therefore shaped both her personal background and her path into music.

Beyoncé is sometimes associated with New York or Los Angeles because much of her later entertainment career was based there. However, neither city is her birthplace. Houston is also distinct from nearby Galveston, where her mother was born. Beyoncé has repeatedly maintained connections with her hometown through performances, charitable work, and references in her music.
