Junction, Rural ranching community in Texas Hill Country, United States
Junction sits where the North and South Llano rivers meet, surrounded by fertile valleys at 519 meters (1,703 feet) elevation. The town is a small administrative center within the Texas Hill Country, primarily defined by ranch land and open terrain.
The settlement was established in 1876 as the Kimble County seat and was originally called Denman before becoming Junction City and then its current name. Growth came through its role as a supply center for the expanding ranching community that surrounded it.
The Kimble County Historical Museum and O.C. Fisher Museum display exhibits about how ranching became central to life in this area. You can see how local people developed cattle operations and shaped the land over generations.
Interstate 10 and US Highways 83, 290, and 377 provide straightforward road access to San Antonio and Austin for visitors. The riverside location makes it easy to explore outdoor activities like fishing and water recreation in the surrounding valleys.
The area holds more water resources than any other county in Texas, with numerous rivers and springs feeding into local water systems. This abundance of water is unusual for the drier regions of Texas and supports diverse plant and animal life.
