ust 30 minutes east of the nation's fourth-largest
city, Baytown is perfectly situated to leave the hustle
and bustle of Houston behind and still enjoy the amenities
of a major metropolitan area. Baytownians don't have to
venture outside the city to find a wide variety of dining,
award-winning parks, and entertainment.
One of the leading factors that sets a city apart as a
" great place to live " is community life activities. Baytown
has more than 50 parks and green spaces, large family
attractions such as Pirates Bay Waterpark and AR's
Entertainment Hub, and weekly events throughout the
community. The city also has three fantastic performing
arts venues and over 100 different food options for all

Did you know?
As a member of the Baytown community, it's important
to understand its rich history. Here are a few Baytown
history fun facts:
* Baytown is situated among the scenic waterways that
once were the battlegrounds of the Texas Revolution.
To mark the significance of this event, the city erected
a 15-foot-tall, 16-foot-long Sam Houston sculpture
created by legendary artist David Adickes. You can
find it at the roundabout intersection of San Jacinto
Boulevard and Hunt Road.
* Happy anniversary, Baytown! Next year on January
24, 2023 marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of
Baytown. Baytown was originally three separate towns:
Goose Creek, Pelly, and East Baytown. Goose Creek's
establishment dates back to the 1850s. With the discovery
of the Goose Creek Oil Field, the rival communities of
Pelly, and East Baytown, developed as early boomtowns.
The communities merged on January 24, 1948.
