Nederland-City
Nederland, Texas, established in 1897 by Dutch settlers, was named after the Dutch term for the Netherlands, reflecting the area's cultural heritage. Originally focused on dairy and rice farming, the town evolved into a residential hub for oil terminal workers following the discovery of the Spindletop gusher in 1901.
Incorporated in 1940, Nederland is part of the Golden Triangle region, benefiting from the economic growth of nearby ports and refineries. The city has a rich Cajun influence due to significant contributions from southern Louisiana, and despite facing challenges during the oil price slump of the 1980s, it has since experienced recovery and growth.
