Jasper, County seat in Deep East Texas, United States.
Situated at an elevation of 62 meters, Jasper extends across a forested region with three surrounding lakes near the Texas-Louisiana border.
The settlement, established in 1824 by John Bevil and initially called Snow River, received its current name in 1835 after Revolutionary War soldier William Jasper.
Every October, the first Saturday marks the celebration of the Butterfly Festival, recognizing the migration patterns of monarch butterflies through the region.
The Jasper Independent School District collaborates with Lamar Institute of Technology and Stephen F. Austin State University to provide educational opportunities.
The Jasper Arboretum Project, initiated in 2000, features public gardens and walking trails, with an Outdoor Learning Center added in 2012.
