The area where Elon Musk's SpaceX company operates on the southern tip of Texas is to officially become a city called Starbase.
Residents approved incorporating a patch of land as the new municipality in an election on Saturday.
Most of the 283 eligible voters are SpaceX employees. Results published online by Cameron County show 212 votes in favour versus six opposed. Billionaire Musk wrote "Starbase, Texas is now a real city!" on his social media platform X.
The new city covers about 1.6 sq miles (3.9 sq km) that was sparsely populated before SpaceX began buying land in the area in 2012.
