Pelly has served as an oil-field community on Texas’s Gulf Coast since the early 20th century. The former city is now part of Baytown in Harris County, on the coastal plain between the San Jacinto River and Galveston Bay. Oil from the Goose Creek field, discovered in 1908, reshaped this area and remains central to its industrial identity. In 1948, Pelly, Goose Creek and Baytown consolidated under the name Baytown, linking three once separate settlements. The wider area combines residential districts with the working waterfront and energy facilities associated with the Houston Ship Channel.
