Lockhart, County seat in Caldwell County, Texas

Lockhart is a city in Caldwell County located south of Austin in central Texas. The town center sits along transportation routes that link it to larger regional cities across the state.

The city was named after surveyor Byrd Lockhart, whose name replaced an earlier settlement name in the region. Its founding followed a significant event in 1840 that shaped the community's development.

The community is known for its smoking traditions, which four major barbecue restaurants continue and pass down through generations. Visitors encounter authentic preparation methods that reflect how local food culture has developed over time.

The Dr. Eugene Clark Library occupies its original building and welcomes visitors during standard hours. The downtown area is easy to navigate on foot and accessible by major roadways that connect to surrounding areas.

Several film productions chose the streets and buildings as shooting locations, giving the town a role in feature films. This has turned the community into a destination for those interested in visiting actual filming sites.
