The history of Port Arthur extends well beyond its 100+ years as a Gulf Coast city. The Sabine Lake shores have been inhabited for over 1,500 years, with the Atakapas being the earliest known indigenous settlers. European explorers—English, Spanish, and French—began visiting in the late 1700s.
During the 1800s, the lake became an important trade route. Among the merchants was Jean Laffite, whose legends of hidden treasure still persist in Southeast Texas lore. The earliest settlement attempt in the area was a community called Aurora, located in what is now historic Port Arthur, but this project failed to gain traction around 1840.
Railroad pioneer Arthur E. Stilwell founded Port Arthur in 1895 with financial backing from Dutch investors. Stilwell, who later claimed inspiration from "brownies" who spoke to him, established the city as the southern terminus for his railroad (now Kansas City Southern). Port Arthur's official founding dates to its incorporation in 1898.
Stilwell established the Port Arthur Channel and Dock Co., which created a canal along the western edge of the lake to deep water at Sabine Pass. The port officially opened to seagoing shipping with the arrival of the British steamer Saint Oswald in August 1899. Early developments included the Sabine Hotel, a public natatorium, and an Export Pier extending into Lake Sabine.
In 1899, John W. Gates visited Port Arthur and quickly developed interest in the growing town. After being denied a position on the railroad's board, Gates managed to have Stilwell's interests declared bankrupt and installed himself as president of Kansas City Southern. Despite this questionable beginning, Gates became instrumental in Port Arthur's development, especially following the Spindletop oil discovery in 1901.
The 1901 Lucas Gusher at Spindletop transformed Port Arthur's destiny. The port rapidly adapted to serve the emerging petrochemical industry, with companies like Gulf Oil (1901) and Texaco (1902) establishing refineries. By 1957, Port Arthur had become recognized as the center of the world's oil refining industry.
Today's Port Arthur encompasses what were originally several distinct communities established at different times. While some areas like Griffing Park, Pear Ridge and Lakeview have been fully incorporated, others like Sabine Pass and Port Acres maintain distinct identities, with Sabine Pass even retaining its own school district, water district, port authority and ZIP code.
