Tri-Cities Beach (also known as Tri-City's Beach) is a neighborhood consisting of multiple subdivisions originally developed between 1940 to 1960 that originally consisted of summer homes and fish camps owned by people who typically resided in the Tri-Cities (Pelly, East Baytown, & Goose Creek) that consolidated to form Baytown in 1948. Tri-Cities Beach originally included all of what is today Beach City, Texas, however to prevent annexation by the city of Baytown, Beach City incorporated and defined itself as separate from Tri-Cities Beach in 1966. The Tri-Cities Beach Neighborhood was also severed in two to this very day by the demolition of the Tri-Cities Beach Drawbridge over Cedar Bayou (sometime in the 1970s or 1980s most likely correlating with Hurricane Alicia of '83), which was replaced by The Spur 55 (now Texas State Highway 99) crossing further up Cedar Bayou.
