The Texas Hill Country is a storied region of Texas located, appropriately enough, in the rolling hills of the central part of the state. Covering over 14,000 square miles, the Hill Country is famous for its rolling tree-covered hills, clear limestone-bottomed rivers and creeks, and easygoing climate. The Hill Country has been a meeting place for many cultures: Native American, Spanish, German, Polish, English, Scots, and many more. The influence of this mélange can be seen in the names of places and natural features, the architecture, the accents, and the friendly people.

Because of the beautiful landscape and mild climate, outdoor activities abound in the Texas Hill Country. Hunting, fishing, bicycling, hiking, and kayaking are just a few of the outdoor pursuits enjoyed by both locals and visitors. The area is also rich in natural attractions, like Enchanted Rock, the Guadalupe River, Hill Country State Natural Area, and Lost Maples State Park. The Hill Country has long been a traditional vacation spot for Texans and visitors from other parts of the country and the world. To paraphrase the old saying: It's a great place to visit, and we think you will want to live here.
