Orange County is located in the southeastern region of the great state of Texas. It was initially a part of Jefferson County but was later separated and officially established in 1852. The county was named after the orange fruit since many orange groves were planted on the banks of the Sabine River, which forms part of the county's eastern boundary.
The region was initially inhabited by Atakapa and Akokisa tribes. The first Anglo American settlers arrived in the 1820s and 1830s when land grants were awarded to settlers by the Mexican government. The area witnessed rapid growth and development after the Texas Revolution in 1836, primarily because of the emerging lumber, agriculture, and shipbuilding industries.
In the years that followed, the construction of the Texas and New Orleans Railroad in the 1850s connected Orange County to other regions, further boosting the county's economic development. During World War II, the county became an important shipbuilding center to support the war effort, leading to a significant rise in the population.
One fun fact about Orange County is that it is home to the Blue Elbow Swamp, an area rich in biodiversity and wildlife preservation. Known for its cypress trees and swamps, the Blue Elbow Swamp is a natural habitat for alligators, white-tailed deer, bald eagles, and various other species. It is also a popular spot for birdwatching and has a nature trail, the Tony Houseman State Park, for visitors to explore the region's flora and fauna.
