Cedar Bayou

Among the communities of Texas, Cedar Bayou stands out for its position beside the watercourse that runs south toward Galveston Bay. This low-lying corner of the Gulf Coast lies within the Baytown area, east of Houston, where bayous, tidal wetlands and shipping channels shape the terrain. The community takes its name from the creek that has long guided settlement here, while nearby Baytown developed around the Goose Creek oil field, discovered in 1908, and remains an important energy-industry centre. Cedar Bayou is a useful place for understanding the working coastal plain and the waterways connecting it to the bay.
