The Texas Golden Triangle
A History in Articles by W. T. Block
The term
"Golden Triangle" refers to a metropolitan area of extreme Southeast Texas
near the Louisiana border, formed by the cities of which are the largest in
the area, Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange¹ ³. "Golden" refers to the
wealth that came from the Spindletop oil strike near Beaumont in 1901¹ ². In
an attempt to distance the area from the petrochemical industry, some area
interests attempted to rename the Golden Triangle as the "Triplex." This
name change did not catch on, and local residents still refer to it as the
Golden Triangle¹.
