Decades of Innovation Rooted In Beaumont, TX

1900s

On January 10,1901, the Lucas Gusher at Spindletop, drilled to a depth of 1,139 feet, erupted and spewed oil over 100 feet in the air for nine days, marking the birth of the modern petroleum industry and the immense production power of salt dome oil discoveries.

1910s

Beaumont's population exploded from 9,000 to an estimated 50,000 in a matter of months, and over 500 oil companies were formed. This boom led to the establishment of oil giants like the Texas Co. (Texaco), Gulf Oil Corporation, and Humble Oil Company (later ExxonMobil).

1920s

Beaumont's refinery capacity expanded, with the Magnolia Petroleum Co. refinery becoming Texas's third largest by 1920, and in 1925, a second major oil discovery at Spindletop brought another burst of growth to the area, with production levels exceeding the original field.

1940s

The Beaumont-Port Arthur region, known as the "Golden Triangle", continued to solidify it's position as a major oil distribution and refining hub. Also, refineries in Beaumont played a crucial role in stepping up production and shipping oil globally for the war effort.

2000s

The oil and gas industry remained a cornerstone of Beaumont's economy. Major players like ExxonMobil, Motiva, and Valero continue to operate large refineries and chemical plants in the region. The Port of Beaumont remains one of the businest in the U.S. for total tonnage, with crude petroleum and refined products making up the majority of cargo.
