DeWitt County, Texas
DeWitt County sits in the heart of South Texas. Cuero is the county seat and is known as the “Turkey Capital of the World”. No joke. They host the Turkeyfest festival every year. It’s a hoot.
The county has deep German and Czech roots. You can taste it in the local sausage. Ranching is still big business here. Cattle graze on rolling prairies.
Oil and gas keep the economy humming too. On weekends, it’s close enough for a road trip to either San Antonio or the Gulf Coast. It’s quiet living with a dash of small-town quirk.
