Historic Baytown

Baytown was formed from three towns — Goose Creek, Pelly and old Baytown — merging in 1948, and the Goose Creek oilfield that built it was one of the first offshore-adjacent oil discoveries in Texas. The landmarks and historical markers in the directory are listed below.

78 places listed — 60 inside Baytown city limits.

Worth knowing

  • Many of these are roadside markers rather than visitable sites.
  • The Brunson Theatre on West Texas Avenue now houses the visitor information centre rather than operating as a cinema.
