How Beauxart Gardens Started
Long ago, people from nearby towns like Nederland and Viterbo used the land in Beauxart Gardens for growing rice.
The United States government helped create Beauxart Gardens during the Great Depression. This was a time in the 1930s when many people did not have jobs or money. The community was named for its location between the cities of Beaumont and Port Arthur.
In 1934, the plan for the town was officially filed. It was approved by the Resettlement Administration in 1935. This government agency helped people move to new communities.
Life in Early Beauxart Gardens
The community covered about 205 acres (0.83 km2) of land. It was home to 50 families. Each house had three to six rooms. Each family also had about three and a half acres of land. They could use this land however they wanted.
Many people living in Beauxart Gardens had part-time jobs at oil refineries nearby. For the rest of the year, they worked on a special farm in Beauxart Gardens. This farm was run by the government and grew vegetables. On August 10, 1942, a place for people to vote was set up in the community.
