History

 

Three duck hunters, seeing the potential for Sjoal Point, the land they visited to hunt, formed a syndicate and began enlisting others to donate financially to purchase the land. They eventually were able to gather enough contributions that they purchased 10,000 acres which included Shoal Point and renamed the area Texas City. In 1893 they filed to open a post office to serve then250 residents and began digging a channel to enhance the economy through a shipping facility. In 1894 the channel was used for the first time commercially. In the late 1890s homes began to spring up and further dredging continued to deepen the channel. In 1905 the government opens a customs house which greatly enhanced the economy and increased the population substantially.

The Texas Refinery Company was started in 1908 and was soon joined by other refineries making Texas City a major port supporting deepwater shipping of petroleum products to the Atlantic Coast. Texas City was officially incorporated in 1999. Texas City is notable for being the site of a major disaster in 1947 when a French ship carrying ammonium nitrate fertilizer exploded demolishing the port and a large section of the city. In 2020 SSA Marine Company begins construction of a cargo container shipping terminal known as Texas City International Terminal at Shoal Point. This terminal became capable of liquid trans-loading and storage, dry bulk handling and storage, and lay berth facilities for all vessels. Today it plays an essential role in the growth and sustainability of countries around the world.
