Clear Lake Shores is a city in Galveston County, Texas, within the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area. Clear Lake Shores is regarded as "The Yachting Capital of Texas", as the city has more boat slips than people. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 1,063. ==History== During the oil boom years of the 1920s, developers began to sell properties around the Clear Lake estuary as waterfront recreational retreats. The new development was named "Clear Lake Shores". Though the development was initially successful, the Great Depression halted most of the area's growth.〔 Texas State Historical Association.〕 After World War II the area began to redevelop with increasing numbers of permanent residents (as opposed to simply weekend residents). The town incorporated in 1962 and has since continued to be primarily residential with a small, tourism-focused business community. In September 2008, the eye of Hurricane Ike hit and destroyed many homes. 〔"(News briefs )." ''Houston Chronicle''. Tuesday April 23, 1991.
