Situated as the county seat for Orange County, Texas, the City of Orange occupies a strategic position on Interstate 10 in southeast Texas. As the last city before entering Louisiana, Orange serves as a gateway for travelers and businesses alike. With up to 55,000 vehicles traversing Interstate 10 daily, the city presents prime site locations along the highway for commercial development.
