Hill Country Beginnings

Hill Country Beginnings
Many folks believe that several ice ages and a few eons ago, a sea floor rose, pushing the water aside. As it did, the floor buckled into hills made of limestone, which were the remains of shellfish and corals of ages earlier. Others say that was just the birth pains of the Texas Hill Country when God's hand created it "in the beginning." In a nation that touts its New England fall colors, its Rocky Mountains, and the big trees of the West Coast, the Hill Country of TX was to become an American secret. A hundred years ago with the coming of the automobile and more leisure time, the people of Texas came looking for the rolling hills and the drop-off valleys. They established summer camps for their children and vacation cabins for themselves. The Hill Country was still something of private information. But now Texas has become one of the two most populated states in the nation and more people are discovering a quiet region in their midst where the water runs clear and the winds blow fresh. The Texas Hill Country has become the most popular destination spot in the USA for vacations, retirement or just plain old country living and enjoyment.

The Texas country is famous for its cattle country. These hills are people country. People can hike, hunt, fish, swim, camp, or just socialize. On the other hand, walk off out of sight and out of earshot and find a live oak to sit under and lean back against. A river-cut valley runs at your feet. Overhead the blue skies carry a fleet of small clouds. And you relax, doing nothing, except realizing how lucky you are to let the world go look after itself while you breathe deeply and let your mind wander through the hills of TX which surround you. These are the famous hills of Texas, come and explore what God has prepared.

Texas Hill Country is "THE" hill country!



When people talk about the Hill Country, they seem to always mean the Texas Hill Country. Even on the internet, if you Google, Bing or Yahoo "Hill Country" the majority of your results are about the "Texas" Hill Country. When you search for something specific in the Hill Country, like Hill Country lodging, apartments, houses, ranches or lots to build on, acreage on a farm or hunting property, almost any kind of Hill Country realty or home, and you end up with Texas results. Look for Hill Country flower shops, wedding decor, Christmas lights, a calendar or a book, a job, a photo, fun activities or a garden pool and you end up with Texas on the internet brain. From a HC storage building, mortgage home loan, sporting goods to internet marketing and you will find Texas results. It doesn't seem to matter if you are searching from the North, South, East or West, summer, winter, spring or fall. It's all about the THC. Check the weather, a shooting range, or golf classic, a road trip or a horseback riding trail and they want to show you the hills of Texas.
Ever since we were voted the #1 retirement location and traveler vacation spot by the New York Times, our marketing has become easier and our tourists have become more plentiful. Snowbirds are flocking in and "wannabe" Texans are wearing "scootin" boots. We have been recognized as the Hill Country with things to do and places to go, more so than Colorado, Arkansas, Virginia, or even the Galilean Hill Country. Yes we have our Kerrville, Fredericksburg, and Bandera, plus the well known cities of San Antonio and Austin, but most folks are even familiar with Luckenbach, Welfare, or Sisterdale because of good old country songs.
I'm sure that there are pictures and images of many other Hill Country areas, but ours competes well as the most beautiful and scenic, overall. A now famous NY BBQ (barbeque) restaurant is taking advantage of this popularity, as well as many local businesses that all claim the Hill Country. Wiki articles, blogs or directories are talking about them, like a nationally, well known jewelry creator, but we all know it's in Texas. Yes, Texas is big, and these hills are its muscle, the streams and rivers its life blood, and the people are the heart, with the bluebonnets and kids making it picture perfect. The natural areas, safari tours, wildlife and general outdoors make a landscape picture that is enhanced by the wineries, golf courses, scenic drives, tourist attractions and amusement parks that rival California and Florida. It seems to all be here.
Here in the Texas Hill Country we have some of the finest and most reputable hospitals and hospital facilities for whatever ails you. If you are in need of a hospital or just curious about some of the hospitals in the hill country check them here Texas Hill Country Hospitals. Antique stores, art studios or furniture stores that make beds from cedar post, a place to unwind, go hunting or shopping, this seems to be the people's choice. If you seek a country drive, a motorcycle rally, a bicycle ride or a running track we have some of the best. Driving a Texas Trail or walking on a hiking trail, a wine trail, or a deer trail are all perfectly acceptable daily activities. Some extracurricular activities like Folk Festivals, Music Jams, high school sports events and county fairs are mainstays for Texans. Come for a visit and you have plenty of lodging choices from your basic or upscale hotels and motels to Texas style inns, luxury resorts and dude ranches. Plenty of comfortable cabins, B&B (Bed and Breakfast), RV parks or camp sites can offer that country feel with a dip in the gazebo or spa to wash away the worldly cares.
If you decide to stay, our realtors have the most beautiful lots and land, small parcels or large acreage, ranch property and retirement realty in the USA. The house builders, home designers and property developers know how to make it home. We have been told that more millionaires live here per capita than anywhere else in the world. And with the wealth management teams, investment advisor groups, retirement planning experts and other financial services focusing on this area, you can trust it to be true. Our churches and places of worship are many and our problems are few. So remember that the Texas Hill Country is the only Hill Country that most folks are really talking about. The TexasHillCountry.com site hopes to become your internet resource, telephone directory, event calendar, map provider and general information reference guide to the best Hill Country in the world. Thanks for visiting and y'all come back soon, ya hear.
