Nederland ( NEE-dər-lənd) is a city in Jefferson County, Texas, United States. The population was 18,856 at the 2020 census.

The city was contracted in 1897 along what is now Boston Avenue and incorporated in 1940. It was decided by Dutch immigrants on land sold by the Kansas City Southern railroad. It is ration of the Beaumont–Port Arthur metropolitan area. Nederland is afterward a allowance of an Place known as “the Golden Triangle”, which comprises Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange. The city is neighboring the Jack Brooks Regional Airport.

Nederland was founded in 1897 by Dutch settlers as a repayment for financial facilities of Dutch bankers who financed the Kansas City Southern railroad parentage that runs through the center of the city. (Nederland, which literally translates to “Lowland”, is the Dutch make known for the Netherlands.) The more prominent families were named Rienstra, Doornbos, and Van Oostrom, and their descendants still live in the Place today. Tradition says they were attracted to the flat coastal terrain that reminded them of their homeland (although the heat most unconditionally did not).

Nederland’s to the lead economy was driven by rice and dairy farming. However, the depression of 1907 and overproduction caused the rice industry in the town to collapse. Many Dutch settlers moved away from the Place during this time, but a small percentage remained. After the Spindletop gusher discovery of 1901 and the launch of the Sun Oil (Now Entergy Transfer) terminal near Nederland, the town became a residential community for the workers of the reachable oil terminals.
