A Piece of Texas History
Rooted in the rugged spirit of the Old West, Mason County was born from Fort Mason—an 1850s frontier outpost that once safeguarded the Texas Hill Country. Settled by pioneers and German immigrants, its rolling hills and clear rivers still echo that frontier legacy. Today, Mason is celebrated for its ranching heritage, vibrant town square, and pristine landscapes—a rare blend of authenticity and charm where wide skies, winding creeks, and small-town warmth define the Texas experience.
