Jan 9, 2025Discover Why Port Arthur is the Cajun Capital of Texas
When it comes to Cajun culture, there are some pretty great places for family travelers to experience it, but all it takes is a short time in the charming town of Port Arthur to see why it is the best place to enjoy it. As the official Cajun Capital of Texas, Port Arthur has plenty of reason to boast. Sitting along the Gulf of Mexico, along the western shore of Sabine Lake, the birthplace of legendary musician Janis Joplin is home to a rich Cajun history dating back to the 1920s when Cajuns first settled in the area. Since that time, their rich cultural history has been nurtured and preserved through the local way of life in Port Arthur.
