The Golden Triangle is an area of Southeast Texas between the cities of Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange.

The term more generally refers now to the entire Beaumont-Port Arthur-Orange metropolitan area, forming the triangle.[1][2][3][4]

In the documentary "Antone's: Home of the Blues", Billy F. Gibbons of the Texas band ZZ Top (and a native of the Golden Triangle) joked the name "Golden Triangle" was chosen "because it sounds much more romantic than 'Petro-Chemical Wasteland.'"
