Baytown: Refineries, the San Jacinto, and the Eastern Ship Channel
Baytown sits along the Houston Ship Channel in Harris and Chambers counties, with approximately 76,000 residents. The city was formed in 1948 by the consolidation of three separate communities: Goose Creek, Pelly, and old Baytown. The area developed on the back of oil industry expansion in the early 20th century, with the Goose Creek Oil Field discovered in 1916 and the establishment of the Humble Oil refinery in 1919. That refinery, now operated by ExxonMobil, remains one of the largest in the United States.
Baytown is directly across the ship channel from La Porte and the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site. The Fred Hartman Bridge, a cable-stayed span opened in 1995, carries State Highway 146 over the channel and has become a recognizable feature of the Upper Gulf Coast landscape. Lee College, a community college founded in 1934, serves the area.
The Chevron Phillips Chemical plant, the Covestro polymers facility, and numerous smaller petrochemical producers operate in and near Baytown, making the city one of the most concentrated industrial zones in the region.
