Located 40 miles east of downtown Houston on a salt dome hill in west Chambers County off Interstate 10, lies Mont Belvieu, Texas, population was 2,324. The area is remarkable in that it rises from the surrounding prairie due to a salt dome extrusion. It was here in 1835 that Amos Barber built his home and became Mont Belvieu's first permanent resident. The community served as a quiet center for farming and cattle ranching until the discovery of oil in the early 20th sent land speculation through the roof with leases and land bought and sold at a rampant pace. In 1926 oil well wildcatter Mills Bennett tapped into the first of many gushers drilled on the hill. Today, Mont Belvieu is a young community of professionals around half married with children. Densely wooded forests and hilly natural features make the areas landscape an unforgettable contrast the asphalt jungle of the Houston Metro-Area.
