In 1824 Noah and Nancy Tevis settled on the west bank of the Neches River and organized a farm. Soon after that, a small community grew up around the farm, which was named Tevis Bluff or Neches River Settlement.[5] In 1835 the land of Tevises together with nearby community of Santa Anna (in total, 50 acres (200,000 m2) or 200,000 m2) was purchased by Henry Millard[6] (1796?–1844), Joseph Pulsifer[7] (1805–1861) and Thomas B. Huling[8] (1804–1865), who began planning a town to be laid out on this land.[5] This town was named Beaumont, after Jefferson Beaumont the brother in law of Henry Millard.
