Why Stop In Kinney County???

February 28, 2005 by admin

Kinney County
Kinney County, located in the Southwest, is delineated by the mighty Rio Grande on its southwestern border. Brackettville is home to the county seat. The county nearly forms a square; it is 36 miles north to south and 34 miles east to west, and about a million acres in size.
The latest census indicated a population of 3,479 hard-working folks. The focal point of the county is its courthouse, built in 1910. Although the county capitol still is in pretty good condition, plans are underway to restore it to its original state.
Agriculture, recreation, tourism and big game hunting form the basis for much of Kinney County’s economy.
Fort Clark Springs Inc., a privately owned and operated recreational/tourist resort, is located on HWY 90 in Brackettville. The resort hosts numerous fun activities for its members and tourists. Census figures indicate 1,070 playful folks reside year-round on the Fort. Literally thousands of welcomed visitors frequent the resort each year.
This old U.S. Cavalry fortress has the third largest spring-fed swimming pool in Texas along with an 18-hole and a separate nine-hole golf course. Spring-fed Las Moras Creek meanders through the golf course, and residential areas afford visitors the opportunity to enjoy fishing, birding, walking, cycling, picnicking and other outdoor activities.
