Geography and History
Port Arthur is located on the western bank of Sabine Lake. The Rainbow Bridge across the Neches River connects Port Arthur to Bridge City. Port Arthur was founded by Arthur Edward Stilwell in the late 19th century, and was once the center of the largest oil refinery network in the world. [1] Since the 1940s there have been an influx of middle class African Americans - most of them coming from neighboring towns, this led to what is often referred to as white flight where many whites moved to neighboring towns such as Nederland, Port Neches, and Groves. By the late 1950s the city was segregated. The African Americans were forced to the west part of town. There the city built the Carver Terrace housing unit for low income Blacks. By the 1970s Blacks were able to purchase homes on the other side of the KCS Railroad and many Black families expanded through other parts of the city. By 2006 census 60% of the city is now Black.

Currently Port Arthur has a diverse population. In addition to the Black and White populations and Cajun culture that is common in the area, there is also a thriving Vietnamese community and a growing Hispanic population. These additions to the local culture over the past several decades have brought diversity and alien flavor to this Southeast city.
Port Arthur experienced an economic decline under the corrupt administration of Mayor J.P. "Pink" Logan. Pink Logan's regime inspired the "Clean Government Movement", established by Logan's primary adversary, W.C. Welch.[1] The efforts of the Clean Government Movement ultimately led the Texas Legislaure to establish the James Committee Report 1961. The James Committee, headed by Dallas Representative Tom James, identified corruption and graft at all levels of Port Arthur's municipal government and law enforcement. Unfortunately, the release of the report did not end corruption, rather it merely pushed all of the rackets into the underground.
Port Arthur has yet to recover from the effects of Pink Logan's political machine, and the city faces great challenges in the future given the predicted increase in hurricane activity.
Port Arthur has produced its fair share of famous individuals, including singing legend Janis Joplin and Dallas Cowboys coach, Jimmy Johnson. Currently, Port Arthur's profile has risen on the hip-hop scene with the emergence of the rap group UGK.
