About us

The City of Baytown provides municipal government services to the residents, businesses, and guests of the Baytown Community. The city now known as Baytown was originally three separate towns. The first of these was Goose Creek, named for the bayou of the same name where Canada geese wintered and whose name is still reflected in the area's Goose Creek CISD, whose establishment dates back to before 1850. With the discovery of the Goose Creek Oil Field, the neighboring communities of Pelly in the late 1910s, and East Baytown in the early 1920s, developed as early boomtowns. Serious talk of merging the three cities began shortly after World War I, but the community of Baytown was opposed to this idea. However, in 1947, the three cities finally agreed to consolidate. The citizens settled on the name Baytown for the new combined city. Baytown as it is known today was officially founded January 24, 1948.

    This week, we have been celebrating our Public Works team as part of National Public Works Week. Recently, the team was presented with a proclamation from Mayor Brandon Capetillo. Our Public Works team is critical when it comes to keeping our community operational. These teams do everything from cleaning up storm debris, to making sure you have water at home and that your waste goes to the right place when you flush. The list is long, but these teams keep Baytown going strong. Thank you to the Baytown Public Works team for everything you do.

    Congratulations to Abinoab Delacruz from ITS for completing his Green Belt project! For his project, Abinoab looked at email communications for various projects across the City. As he Defined, Measured, and used a Fishbone Diagram to Analyze the situation, he noticed the amount of time it often takes to get email responses on project updates along with the confusion that happens when more than one email stream is created. What a great place to start looking for ways to make this process more efficient and centralized. Well done Abinoab!
