History

Beaumont grew from the 1824 farm of Noah and Nancy Tevis on the Neches River, a settlement first known as Tevis Bluff or the Neches River Settlement. In 1835 Henry Millard and partners Joseph Pulsifer and Thomas B. Huling laid out a town on land bought from the Tevises, reportedly naming it Beaumont for Millard's wife's maiden name. Beaumont became the seat of Jefferson County, on the west bank of the Neches.
