Mont Belvieu is a city in Chambers and Liberty Counties in Texas. The population was 2,324 at the 2000 census. The first permanent settler to the area was Amos Barber, a rancher and cattleman who built the first home on the hill in 1849. The first commercial oil production at the site began at the Barber’s Hill Oilfield in 1918, and the following year, the Goose Creek and Dayton Railroad was completed through Mont Belvieu. In 1931 over eight million barrels of oil would be recovered. The Warren Petroleum Company built an underground salt dome storage terminal in 1955. This facility is the largest of its type for natural gas liquids in North America. With 26 underground caverns, it has a total storage capacity of forty-three million barrels of propane, butane, ethane, natural gas and other products. www.montbelvieu.net
