Kleberg County, Administrative county in southern Texas, US
Kleberg County is an administrative division in South Texas with much of its territory contained within the famous King Ranch. The area consists of ranching lands and open terrain, centered around Kingsville where the county courthouse serves as the administrative hub.
The county was established in 1913 and named after Robert Justus Kleberg Sr., a Prussian immigrant who arrived in Texas in 1834 and served as justice of the peace. His influence shaped the early settlement and development of the area.
The region is shaped by a strong Hispanic culture that shows in everyday language, local celebrations, and architecture throughout the area. Walking through towns, you notice this heritage in street names, restaurants, shops, and the way people interact.
The county courthouse in Kingsville on East Kleberg Avenue serves as the main government center and handles administrative services. The area is easy to navigate and accessible for exploring both the town and the surrounding ranch landscape.
The county has an unusual distinction: commissioners officially adopted "HeavenO" as the standard greeting instead of "Hello" in 1997. This quirky local tradition is something visitors might encounter and find memorable.
