Uvalde County, County administration center in Southwest Texas, United States.
Uvalde County spans 1,588 square miles of terrain with the Nueces, Leona, Sabinal, Dry Frio, and Frio rivers flowing through its boundaries.
Spanish governor Juan de Ugalde led 600 soldiers to victory against Apache forces near present-day Utopia on January 9, 1790.
The region maintains strong ties to ranching traditions, with many families continuing multi-generational agricultural practices across the county territory.
The county provides administrative services through its courthouse, constructed in 1928, which handles local government operations and public records.
The limestone formations near Sabinal River contain visible fossils and prehistoric animal footprints alongside ancient wagon tracks carved into the rock.
