Burnet County, County administration center in central Texas, United States
The county encompasses 1,021 square miles of granite hills, limestone formations, and water bodies including Lake Buchanan and Inks Lake.
The Texas Legislature established Burnet County in 1852, carved from parts of Travis, Bell, and Williamson counties, naming it after Republic of Texas president David Burnet.
The county maintains numerous ranching operations across its territory, continuing the agricultural traditions established by nineteenth-century settlers in the Texas Hill Country.
Residents access government services at the Burnet County Courthouse, located at 220 South Pierce Street in the city of Burnet.
The region contains substantial deposits of pink granite, identical to the stone used in constructing the Texas State Capitol building in Austin.
