Sabine Pass, Port Arthur, Texas
Sabine Pass community〔(Sabine Pass community )-Retrieved 2013-09-11〕 is a neighborhood in Jefferson County within the Beaumont−Port Arthur Metropolitan Statistical Area of the U.S. state of Texas. It lies on the west bank of the Sabine River at Sabine Pass, that is the border between Louisiana and Texas, and was incorporated in 1861. Although the city was formally annexed by Port Arthur in 1978, Sabine Pass has continued to maintain semi-autonomy with a separate school district, post office, water district, and port authority. Police and fire protection is provided by Port Arthur.〔(Port Arthur history )- Retrieved 2013-09-18〕
Sabine Pass was the site of two naval battles, the First Battle of Sabine Pass, and the Second Battle of Sabine Pass, as well as land skirmishes that occurred around the historic Sabine Pass Lighthouse during the Civil War.
== History ==
In 1832, Thomas Corts (of England) and John McGaffey (of New Hampshire) were among the first settlers of the Sabine Pass area.〔(WT Block: First settlers of Sabine Pass )- Retrieved 2013-09-17〕 Stephen Hendrickson Everitt (1806–1844)〔Robert Wooster, "EVERITT, STEPHEN HENDRICKSON," Handbook of Texas Online ()- accessed September 18, 2013. Published by the Texas State Historical Association〕 wrote a letter to Republic of Texas President Mirabeau B. Lamar on March 11, 1839, seeking to establish a post office in the area. There was already a Republic of Texas custom's house, established in 1837, as well as a United States custom's house at Garrison Ridge,〔(Louisiana Sportsman; Garrison Ridge location )- Retrieved 2013-09-13〕 and the nearest post office was 40 miles away. On October 19, 1839, Everitt, representing John Bevil,〔Robert Wooster, "BEVIL, JOHN," Handbook of Texas Online (), accessed September 13, 2013. Published by the Texas State Historical Association〕 filed an intention with Chief Justice Palmer in Jasper County, to form a city to be known as ''City of the Pass'' with 1600 acres and 2500 lots, but was unsuccessful. There is some confusion as to if this was Sabine Pass that he had previously written about or an intended city to the south. Records also indicate that in 1839, Sam Houston, along with Philip Sublette and associates, laid out what is referred to as "the first townsite of Sabine", containing 2,060 lots with Niles F. Smith〔("First" Sabine Pass townsite )- Retrieved 2013-09-17〕 as the agent.〔(Old and New; Port Arthur )- Retrieved 2013-09-18〕 Niles was appointed collector of revenue for the port of Sabine 1842.〔- Retrieved 2013-09-17〕 Philip Sublett and Houston were friends and associates. Houston stayed with Sublett while recuperating from wound received at San Jacinto. In 1836, Sublett nominated Houston for president of the Republic of Texas.〔(tshaonline "Houston for president" )- Retrieved 201309-18〕
According to the Adams-Onis Treaty the Louisiana boundary was "to landfall" on the west bank of the Sabine River but there was still a border dispute between the United States and the Republic of Texas. The US claimed jurisdiction down the Sabine River to the Gulf of Mexico and Texas claimed it ended at the Sabine River delta. By 1838 the U.S. assigned the revenue cutter USRC Woodbury (1837) to patrol the Sabine Lake as part of the Gulf of Mexico patrol. By 1844, the Republic of Texas had the ''Santa Anna'' patrolling the area. There was one instance that could have led to war between the United States and the Republic of Texas. The Santa Anna had instructed two schooners loading cotton to stop at the custom house to pay a tonnage fee. The customs house had two cannons and when the schooners attempted to run the customs port the agent fired a warning shot across the bow of each ship and then six more as an attempt to sink them. Both schooners weighed anchor and settled the matter.
