Know Baytown
Baytown was formed in 1948 when the communities of Goose Creek, Pelly and East Baytown consolidated into one city. Most of it lies in Harris County, but the portion east of Cedar Bayou is in Chambers County, so your appraisal district and county services depend on which side of the bayou you land on. Galveston Bay borders the city on the south and west, and Interstate 10 runs roughly along its northern edge.
Industry shaped Baytown from the start. The ExxonMobil Baytown complex began refining in 1920 under Humble Oil and now covers about 3,400 acres along the Houston Ship Channel. Covestro and the Chevron Phillips Cedar Bayou plant also operate here, and Cedar Crossing Industrial Park spans roughly 15,000 acres. That industrial base brings a steady flow of workers moving in, moving up within town, or transferring to other plants out of state.
Getting around is built on Interstate 10, SH 146, Spur 330 (Decker Drive) and the Grand Parkway (SH 99). The Fred Hartman Bridge, opened in 1995 to replace the old Baytown Tunnel, carries SH 146 across to La Porte, and the Lynchburg Ferry still crosses where the San Jacinto River meets Buffalo Bayou. Baytown is served by Goose Creek CISD and Lee College, and the 450-acre Baytown Nature Center now occupies the former Brownwood subdivision, abandoned after subsidence and hurricane flooding.
Check whether your new address is east of Cedar Bayou, since that side of Baytown is in Chambers County rather than Harris County.Watch hurricane season forecasts if you move between June and November; we reschedule for hurricane warnings at no fee.Confirm your Goose Creek CISD school assignment by address before you set a move date.Allow extra time on moving day if your route crosses the Fred Hartman Bridge or uses I-10 during plant shift changes.
