Bowie County, County in northeastern Texas, United States.
Bowie County is an administrative division in northeastern Texas located within the Texarkana metropolitan area, with New Boston serving as its administrative center. The region includes rural and urban communities connected by major highways that shape how people move through and use the land.
The county was established in 1840 and named after a key figure in the Texas independence movement. Before European settlers arrived, the land had been home to Caddoan-Mississippian peoples for centuries.
The name comes from James Bowie, a key figure in Texas history. People from different communities living here together create the local character and traditions you see throughout the region.
The county is easily reached via Interstate highways I-30 and I-49, which connect the region to neighboring states. These major routes make it straightforward for visitors to access the different communities within the county.
The county borders two different states—Arkansas and Oklahoma—a rare boundary position among Texas administrative divisions. This location at the edge of two neighboring states makes it a strategically significant point in the region.
