Mont Belvieu was first permanently settled by Amos Barber in 1849. The community that grew up near the Barber homestead was known as Barbers Hill. Seeking to avoid confusion with other offices with similar names, postal authorities suggested a change to Mont Belvieu. By 1918, commercial oil production began at the Barbers Hill oilfield, and in the following year, the Goose Creek and Dayton Railroad was completed through Mont Belvieu. In 1920 the population was estimated at only twenty. The most important development was the discovery of more oil at greater depths during the late 1920s. (Source: Texas State Historical Association). Today, Mont Belvieu is a booming town with a rich history that is steeped in the story of the oil and gas exploration of the Texas Gulf Coast.

Old River-Winfree was initially settled by at least 1827. Formerly known as Winfree and also referred to as Old River Winfree's, this City derived its name from the Old River, which cuts through the community. The river provided the main source of nineteenth and early twentieth-century transportation, for local farmers who raised cattle, hogs, sheep, cotton, corn, and rice. During the 1960s, the development of Mont Belvieu as a petrochemical complex and the location of industries in southwestern Chambers County were factors that influenced community voters to incorporate the town as Old River-Winfree in 1979.
