Austin County, Texas

Austin Location Map Texas

Austin County lies between Houston and Austin. Bellville, the county seat, is known for its beautiful courthouse square. The county’s rolling hills are a patchwork of farms and ranches.

The Stephen F. Austin State Park is a local attraction for camping and hiking. Bluebonnets carpet the fields each spring, drawing photographers from all over.

Summers are sweltering, but folks cool off with homemade ice cream. The county fair is a big deal around here. It’s where neighbors still look out for each other. History runs deep in these parts.
