Kimble County

Kimble County sits in the Edwards Plateau region with rolling hills, grasslands, and limestone formations scattered throughout. The terrain varies in elevation and plant life, with rivers and creeks running through the land and supporting ranches and small settlements.

Indigenous peoples including Comanches and other tribes lived here before European settlement began in the 1850s. The county was established in 1858 and named after a person important to early Texas independence.

Ranching and livestock farming shape the landscape and daily rhythms of life across this rural territory. These practices connect residents to the land in ways visible in how the county develops and functions.

Junction serves as the main hub with basic services and facilities. The hilly terrain means having a vehicle is practical for exploring the different areas across the county.

The county contains natural springs with clear water that draw swimmers and nature enthusiasts to riverside areas. These hidden spots often escape the attention of passing travelers despite offering quiet places to visit.
