Stonewall County, Administrative division in Texas, United States.
Stonewall County is an administrative division spanning roughly 920 square miles (2,382 square kilometers) across central Texas. The region contains small communities and is crossed by major highways that connect the rural landscape to surrounding areas.
The area was established in 1876 and organized in 1888, taking its name from Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. This timing placed it within the broader era of settling the Texas frontier and building rural communities.
The people here build their lives around ranching and farming, activities that shape daily routines and how communities come together. These practices remain central to local identity and help neighbors connect across the sparse landscape.
Three major highways cross the territory and connect the scattered communities with each other and neighboring regions. Visitors should expect longer distances between towns and limited services in remote areas.
Two rivers, the Double Mountain Fork and the Salt Fork, meet within the county to form the Brazos River. This meeting point marks where one of Texas's major waterways begins its journey across the state.
