Nederland

Tucked into the low-lying Gulf Coastal Plain of southeast Texas, Nederland is a city whose character is shaped by its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and the Sabine-Neches Waterway. Established in 1897 as a Dutch settlement during a period of expanding rice cultivation, it takes its name from the Dutch word for the Netherlands. That heritage remains part of local identity, while Nederland also belongs to the Beaumont–Port Arthur metropolitan area, where refining, shipping and industry have long influenced the economy. The Neches River runs west of the city, with Port Arthur and the Gulf Coast lying to the south.
