Mont Belvieu is at the intersection of Hwy 146 and Farm Road 1942, slightly north of I-10 and 32 miles east of Houston on a salt dome in northwestern Chambers County. By the mid-1930s thirty businesses served the growing oil town, which had an estimated 500 residents by the 1940s. Mont Belvieu had incorporated by 1970, when it was credited with a population of 1,144. By 1980 the figure had increased to 1,730. The community was by then closely tied to the Houston-Baytown area.
