At one time residents of Nederland and Viterbo used sites in Beauxart Gardens for rice farming. The Federal Government of the United States developed Beauxart Gardens during the Great Depression.[4] The community was named for its location between Beaumont and Port Arthur. The town plat, filed in 1934, was approved by the Resettlement Administration in 1935. The 205-acre (0.83 km2) tract housed 50 families. Each house had three to six rooms and three and one half acres of land; each household was permitted to use the land in any manner. Many of the residents held part-time jobs at refineries. For the remainder of each year, they worked in the Beauxart Gardens government truck farm. On August 10, 1942, a voting precinct was established in the community.[1]
