Texas Hill Country Towns

Texas Hill Country towns happen to be scattered throughout roughly 25 counties.  That's an area that can hold quite a number cities, towns, and communities.

Austin and San Antonio are the largest of these towns.  Really, though, they are just on the edge of the hill country.  That makes them ideal locations for a home base.  You know... for day trips, weekend getaways, nature outings, etc. 

Actually, most hill country towns are considered small.  

Some of the towns (communities really) might even sneak up on you.  A few of them are not much more than a highway intersection.  So, be on the lookout... or you might miss one (like Crabapple).  

Maps are the best way to locate any towns you may be interested in finding.  So, on the page of each town will be a map showing you where it is located.

But remember... each town is unique. 

Hill Country Towns of all Flavors

They each have their own history, style, and personality.  And so you will find that everywhere you go, there will be different events, festivals, places to see, things to do, wineries to visit, and so on.

So you can expect some towns to be more of a recreational area, with state parks, lakes, and other outdoor attractions nearby.  While others may be "famous" for their dining and retail shops... or nearby wineries... or specialty events and venues.

If you're just out for a Sunday drive, lodging and restaurants may not be a concern.  But... if you are away from home for very long, somebody is going to start getting hungry.  You might even need to look for a place to stay.

As they make their way onto TexyHills.com, expect each town to have its own page and map.  Nearby wineries and places of interest will be highlighted as well, along with some restaurants and lodging choices. 

And, depending on the town, maybe a few areas of famousness thrown in too. 

Where else but the hill country can you find historic courthouses, the oldest dance hall in Texas, the Wedding Capitol of Texas, and the Cowboy Capitol of the World? 

No place else like it.
