Orange, TX

After a bridge replaced the ferry, the east side of the Sabine River was where workers from Texas lumber mills escaped the strict laws of their state to enjoy nightlife with few limitations. Consequently, Orange, TX and East Orange, LA enjoyed an ongoing relationship enhanced by shipbuilding during World War II on the Texas side of the river and every form of entertainment imaginable on the Louisiana side.

The boom ended on the east side of the river when highway engineers routed I-10 further north, eliminating most of the traffic over the Sabine River bridge between the two states, which became known as the “burned bridge,” when an arsonist set fire to it in 1974. Though there’s not much left of East Orange, Louisiana’s connection with Orange, TX has never been broken.
