West Orange, TX

West Orange is an Orange County city on Farm Road 1006 southwest of Orange, in the Beaumont–Port Arthur metropolitan area. The 2020 census counted 3,459 residents. A residential community grew here between Orange's industrial facilities, Port Vernon to the south, and the railroad junction around Doc Brown Station to the north. That placement gives West Orange a working-map identity tied to the Golden Triangle, even though the city itself is mostly a small residential grid. Plant gates and rail sidings set the surrounding scale.

State Highway 87 splits the school map: areas to the east attend West Orange–Cove Consolidated Independent School District, while areas to the west attend Bridge City Independent School District. The Sabine and Neches industrial corridor supplies the broader regional backdrop, with refineries, chemical plants, rail, and shipping shaping the nearby work landscape. West Orange's local scoop is a residential city placed between Orange's industrial core and the Sabine–Neches corridor, with two school systems meeting at one highway.
