Why Stop In Burleson County???

April 2, 2007 by Sarah L

Burleson County is located deep in the heart of Texas. If you like country living, then this is the place for you; whether you’re looking for a small neighborly town, a country club subdivision, or a secluded wooded area, we have it all. We have a robust business community where you still get that down-home personal treatment. If the city lights call you, you’re only 15 minutes from Bryan and College Station, home of Texas A&M University.
The county seat of Caldwell is the Kolache Capital of Texas, with its Kolache Festival held the 2nd Saturday in September. Caldwell is located on the Presidential Corridor and is within 200 miles of 85 percent of the total population in the state. Going west on Highway 21 brings you to the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, or going east brings you to the George Bush Presidential Library in College Station.
Somerville, originally a major railroad center and farming community, slows the pace, has excellent food, and offers relaxed small-town living. Somerville’s annual 4th of July, New Year’s Day, Somerfest, and Hawgs of Texas celebrations, near beautiful Lake Somerville with its various water activities, add to the perfection of escape from the hectic pace of big-city life.
Snook is a farming community that was originally settled by Czech and German immigrants in the 1880s. Today it is the home of Slovacek Sausage. Live music and cook-offs generate huge crowds in Snook’s annual spring event, known as Chilifest.
Burleson County is a great place to live, play and work. County Judge Mike Sutherland
