A remote section of southern Texas, home to Elon Musk’s SpaceX launch site, has officially been designated as a city.
Named Starbase, the area was incorporated following a successful vote by local residents on Saturday.
Of the 283 eligible voters, most of whom are SpaceX employees, 212 voted in favour while just six opposed, according to results from Cameron County.
Musk celebrated the outcome on his social media platform X, writing: “Starbase, Texas is now a real city!”
The newly incorporated city spans 1.6 square miles (3.9 sq km) — a once sparsely populated stretch of land that SpaceX began acquiring in 2012.
Starbase will be governed by a mayor and two commissioners, with authority over planning, taxation, and other municipal affairs.
