Geography of Beaumont

Beaumont sits in Jefferson County in far Southeast Texas, about 85 miles east of Houston along Interstate 10, forming the core of the Beaumont-Port Arthur metro area known as the Golden Triangle. With a population near 113,000, Beaumont has seen a modest population decline of roughly 2% since the 2020 Census, even as its industrial base — refining, petrochemicals, and shipping along the Neches River — remains one of the largest concentrations of heavy industry in the country.

Free towing is included anywhere in Beaumont and the surrounding area. You can find more about local services on the City of Beaumont's official website.

History of Beaumont

Beaumont grew from a small settlement on the Neches River first known as Tevis Bluff, established in 1824 by Noah and Nancy Tevis. In 1835, Henry Millard, Joseph Pulsifer, and Thomas Byers Huling purchased the land and platted the townsite, naming it Beaumont — most accounts credit Millard's wife's maiden name, though some sources tie it to Millard's brother-in-law, Jefferson Beaumont. The town incorporated in 1838 and grew through the 19th century as a lumber and rice-milling center tied to river and rail shipping. Everything changed on January 10, 1901, when the Lucas Gusher blew in at Spindletop just south of town, launching the modern petroleum industry and swelling Beaumont's population from about 10,000 to 50,000 almost overnight.

Culture of Beaumont

Beaumont's economy remains built on the refining and petrochemical industry Spindletop created. The ExxonMobil Beaumont refinery processes more than 630,000 barrels of crude per day, employs roughly 2,000 workers directly, and — along with thousands of contractors — accounts for about 1 in 7 jobs in the region. Chemical and plastics manufacturing is concentrated in the Beaumont-Port Arthur area at 3.5 times the national average, with major operators including ExxonMobil, Motiva, and Valero anchoring the broader Golden Triangle economy of Jefferson, Orange, and Hardin counties.

Beaumont's Gulf Coast location means hurricane exposure is severe and recurring — during Hurricane Harvey in August 2017, the city recorded a one-day record of 26 inches of rain and roughly 45.73 inches total from the storm, causing catastrophic flash flooding that killed two people locally and knocked out both the city's primary and secondary water supplies after the swollen Neches River damaged the water pumps.
