Coryell County, County division in central Texas, US
Coryell County is a county in central Texas covering plateaus and grasslands with varying terrain. The Leon River flows through the northern and eastern sections, while Cowhouse Creek waters the western and southern areas.
The Texas Legislature established this county in 1854, naming it after frontiersman James Coryell who died during frontier conflicts. The region developed as settlers moved into the area and established ranches and farms.
Native Americans, including Tonkawa, Lipan Apache, Kiowa, and Comanche tribes, established settlements along the Leon River starting from 4500 BC.
The region is accessible by road and offers outdoor exploration of natural landscape and river areas. Visitors can access farmland and grassland areas for recreation and sightseeing.
A significant portion of the county qualifies as prime agricultural land, featuring native trees such as red cedar, live oak, and pecan that shape the landscape character. These trees remain central to the region's agricultural and visual identity.
