Glen Rose, County seat in Somervell County, Texas.
Glen Rose stands at an elevation of 189 meters above sea level, positioned at the intersection of U.S. Highway 67 and State Highway 144.
Founded in 1849, Glen Rose developed from a small trading post into a significant administrative center when it became the county seat in 1875.
The courthouse square functions as a central marketplace where local farmers sell fresh produce under the shade of established pecan trees.
The First National Bank Building from 1896 now serves as the visitor center, providing information and guidance for tourists exploring the region.
Dinosaur tracks from three species dating back 113 million years remain preserved in the limestone beds of the nearby Paluxy River.
