Golden Triangle (Texas)
The Golden Triangle is an area of Southeast Texas between the cities of Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange. The term more generally refers now to the entire Beaumont-Port Arthur-Orange metropolitan area, forming the triangle. In the documentary "", Billy F. Gibbons of the Texas band ZZ Top (and a native of the Golden Triangle) joked the name "Golden Triangle" was chosen "because it sounds much more romantic than 'Petro-Chemical Wasteland.'"
