Why Stop In Guadalupe County???

December 8, 2008 by admin

Guadalupe County is strategically located in south Central Texas, encompassing 713 square miles. It’s situated between San Antonio 30 minutes west, and Austin conveniently accessible 20 miles to the north.
People enjoy the scenic beauty and clear waters of the Guadalupe River and Lakes Dunlap, McQueeney and Placid. These beautiful waters attract visitors year-round, as the Guadalupe River is considered one of the most beautiful rivers in Texas.
There is always something “nutty” going on! The Guadalupe County Courthouse is located in Seguin where a HUGE pecan sits on the courthouse lawn and is a popular place for taking photos. Yes, it’s a replica made of concrete, but it looks quite realistic and honors a major local industry. Crops can reach up to 3 million pounds of pecans, making this county one of the nation’s leading producers. Guadalupe County growers helped to pioneer pecans, which Spanish explorers encountered in the area hundreds of years ago. Some of the earliest pecan orchards were planted in nearby river bottoms, and local specimens were used in upgrading cultivated varieties.
Located along the beautiful Guadalupe River, Starcke Park offers a variety of recreational facilities for people of all ages including an 18-hole golf course along with tennis, basketball and volleyball courts. For children or the young-at-heart, there is the Kids Kingdom Playscape, the city’s wave pool, and a Little League baseball/softball complex, and, of course, picnic areas throughout the park.
Seguin is home to the Sebastopol State Historic Site.
For all those who want to see what things were like in the “olden days,” you can stop by and visit the Texas Agricultural Education and Heritage Center, dedicated to educating the public and especially young people about the importance of agriculture in our society.
Guadalupe County is unique in that it is home to 10 cities, nine school districts, and Texas Lutheran University.
Stop by for a visit sometime
