The Gilded Age in Galveston was a transformative period from 1870 to 1900 when wealth, innovation, and ambition shaped the island's economy and culture. This era saw Galveston emerge as a vital port, a hub for railroads, and a beacon of modern infrastructure, leaving behind architectural gems like the Bishop's Palace and Moody Mansion. Although it ended with the 1900 storm, its legacy endures in Galveston's historic charm and resilient spirit.
