History

Noah Tevis and his family settled along the Neches River about 1826, and in January 1835 the Mexican government of Coahuila and Texas granted him roughly half a league of land fronting the river. The town of Beaumont was later laid out on part of his property, a spot known as Tevis Bluff, and the 1936 state marker records that Tevis died in December 1835.
