Menard County, Administrative division in Texas, US
Menard County stretches across 902 square miles of the Edwards Plateau region, featuring rolling hills, valleys, and ranch lands at elevations up to 2,467 feet.
The Texas Legislature established Menard County in 1858, naming it after Michel Branamour Menard, who founded the city of Galveston in the early Texas period.
The county preserves Native American and Spanish colonial influences through local events, while maintaining strong connections to ranching and agricultural traditions.
The county government provides essential services through departments focused on public safety, health services, and infrastructure maintenance for its 1,962 residents.
The legend of the Lost Bowie Mine, sought by James and Rezin Bowie in the 1830s, continues to intrigue visitors searching for Spanish silver deposits.
