The Beaumont–Port Arthur metropolitan area is defined by the United States Census Bureau as a three-county region in Southeast Texas, east of the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area. The area is also known as the Golden Triangle, centering on the city of Beaumont and its smaller neighbor, Port Arthur. The "golden" refers to the wealth that came from the Spindletop oil strike near Beaumont in 1901, and "triangle" refers to the area between the cities of Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange. According to the 2000 Census, it has a population of 385,090 (though a July 1, 2007 estimate placed the population at 376,241).[1]
