Nederland

Nederland is located just south of Beaumont toward Port Arthur on US 69/96/287.

In Jefferson County, it is part of the Beaumont-Port Arthur, Texas metro area.

The name means 'lowland' in Dutch.

The town incorporated on April 29, 1940, and the population reached 3,801 in 1950. Nederland grew rapidly as a residential center during the boom years that followed. By 1970 the number of inhabitants had surpassed 16,000. Though the local economy was hurt by the declining demand for petroleum during the 1980s, the city's rated businesses increased from 136 in 1972-73 to 401 in 1984-85. The population was reported at 16,855 in 1980 and 16,192 in 1990.

At that time Nederland had two museums, the Dutch Windmill Museum and La Maison Acadienne. They stand side by side in Tex Ritter Park, situated in the heart of Nederland.
