Jefferson County, Texas

Jefferson Location Map Texas

The Gulf Coast is calling, and Jefferson County answers. This piece of Southeast Texas is where the Lone Star State meets Louisiana. Beaumont, the county seat, was ground zero for the Texas Oil Boom. Black gold still flows here, but there’s more to the story.

The Big Thicket’s swamps and forests creep into the northern part of the county. It’s a bird watcher’s paradise. Port Arthur’s refineries light up the night sky. But so do the neon signs of its Cajun restaurants.

The county’s a melting pot of cultures. You can hear it in the music, taste it in the food. Lamar University keeps things lively. And yeah, it floods sometimes. But the people here are resilient. They always bounce back.
