Chambers County, Administrative division in Southeast Texas, United States.
Chambers County is an administrative division in Southeast Texas along the Gulf Coast. The county includes coastal areas, wetlands, and several towns with Anahuac serving as the county seat.
Texas legislators established Chambers County in 1858, naming it after Thomas Jefferson Chambers, a military leader during the Texas Revolution. The area later developed around fishing, agriculture, and industrial activities along its waterways.
The county maintains two public libraries through the Chambers County Library System, providing educational resources and programs for residents throughout the region.
Visiting is most comfortable during fall and spring when temperatures are mild and humidity is lower. Roads along the coast provide access to natural areas and small towns throughout the county.
The Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in the county's western portion hosts diverse bird populations and serves as a critical stopover for migrating birds. Visitors can observe species here that are rarely seen elsewhere in the region.
