| For
more than 50 years our
chapter has continued
the traditions of providing
Good Citizen and Good
Citizenship awards to
our four area high schools,
sponsoring the American
History Essay Contest,
and collecting gifts for
the patients in the Michael
DeBakey Veteran's Affairs
Administration Medical
Center in Houston. The
John Lewis and Goose Creek
Chapters merged in 1997,
creating a single chapter
for Baytown.
One of the first settlers of Baytown was Nathaniel Lynch who, in 1822,
set up a ferry crossing at the junction of the San Jacinto River and Buffalo Bayou that is
still in operation. William Scott, one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred, received a
land grant in 1824. Scott's two leagues and one labor of land, over 9,000 acres, covered most
of the area of present Baytown. Near William Scott's home on San Jacinto (Scott's) Bay, a
settlement grew to include a small store and a sawmill. It was called Bay Town.
