Port Arthur
located near Galveston
"Cajun Capital of Texas"
Cajuns flocked to Port Arthur from 1927 when the Great Mississippi Flood brought farmers looking for black gold. Big refineries meant big jobs here in Southeast Texas. Our coastline, bayous, rivers and marshlands allowed Cajuns to provide for their families while living the same bayou lifestyle reminiscent of their years spent in southern Louisiana – just across the Causeway Bridge on Pleasure Island. The Cajuns settled here and brought with them their language, music, lifestyle, Cajun food and joy de vivre.
