Through It

Colorado County was named for the Colorado River, which runs through it. The county was formed in 1836, and the City of Columbus, the county seat, may have been planned and named as early as 1823.

Columbus is one of the oldest settlements in central Texas, and was established by Stephen F. Austin and his “Old 300”. Perhaps the most notable early resident was Benjamin Beeson, who was granted a league of land south of present Columbus in 1824. Beeson's large home near the river became a stopping point for travelers, and soon acquired the name Beeson's Crossing. The site is now home to Beason’s Park, which sits at the bank of the Colorado River. When

Sam Houston's army retreated from Gonzales after the battle of the Alamo, it camped on the East bank of the Colorado River in Colorado County, and the Mexican army camped about two miles west of the river; the armies remained for seven or eight days. Other Mexican troops under Antonio López de Santa Anna arrived on March 25, 1836, and Houston ordered a further retreat. During the Runaway Scrape hundreds of persons crossed the river at Benjamin Beeson's ford. Colorado County, one of the original counties of the Republic of Texas, was formed in 1836 and organized in 1837. The first district court was held by Robert M. Williamson in April 1837 in Columbus. A German settlement grew up around the community of Frelsburg around 1839, and the first German university in the state, Hermann University, was chartered there in 1844. Two other towns, Eagle Lake and Alleyton, formed on the line of the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos, and Colorado Railway, which had begun building into Colorado County in 1859. Alleyton was at one time an important cotton-shipping point. The county's first newspaper, the Colorado Citizen, began publication in 1857 in Columbus. The newspaper is still in publication today, now known as The Colorado County Citizen, and is among the oldest surviving news publications in the State of Texas. By 1873, the City of Weimar had been formed, like many other towns, in anticipation of the Galveston, Harrisburg, and San Antonio rail line. Weimar was named for Weimar, Germany, and D.W. Jackson donated half of the land for the town’s creation.

Locale & Geography

Colorado County is crossed by Interstate Highway 10, U.S. Highways 90 and 90A, and State Highway 71, as well as by the Union Pacific railroad. The county includes 964 square miles of level to rolling land with elevations that range from 150 to 425 feet above sea level.

The average minimum temperature here in January is 41° F, and the average maximum in July is 98°. The growing season lasts 280 days, and from 11 to 20 percent of the land is considered prime farmland. In the northwest portion of Colorado County, in the Blackland Prairie area, the land supports elm, oak, pecan, and mesquite trees along streams. The remainder is a post oak savanna, where post oak, blackjack oak, and elm grow, with walnuts and pecans along streams. Historians say this area has been the site of human habitation for approximately 12,000 years. Archaic-age hunters and gatherers lived on deer, bison, roots, and nuts right here in Colorado County. The Coco branch of the Karankawa tribe hunted through the area, and Tonkawa Indians ranged up into the area from the south.

Population & Culture

After dropping 15 percent between 1900 and 1910 to 18,897, Colorado County's population remained relatively static during the 20th century, numbering 19,129 in 1930, 17,638 in 1970, and 18,383 in 1990. Throughout most of the 20th century, Columbus, the county seat and largest town, was the home of 15 to 20 percent of the county's population. The town had 3,367 residents in 1990.

According to the 2020 census population counts, Columbus has a population of 3,707, Eagle Lake has a population of 3,402 and Weimar has 2,060 residents.

Colorado County is home to over 20,000 residents today. Other unincorporated communities in the county include Sheridan, Garwood, Altair, Bernardo, Oakland, Glidden, Rock Island, Frelsburg, Borden, Chesterville, Nada, Matthews, Mentz, and Alleyton.

Colorado County is proud of its diverse cultural makeup. German, Mexican, Austrian, Native American, African, and Czech immigrants played vital roles in the creation of Colorado County, and their influences are still prevalent today.

Annual events like the Gedenke! Festival in Weimar, the Prairie Chicken Festival in Eagle Lake and the two-day Magnolia Days Festival in Columbus, which attracts over 4,000, all pay tribute to the county’s rich, colorful history.

Colorado County is a food lover’s paradise with mouthwatering, kolaches and klobasneks, award-winning trueTexas barbecue, famous sausage recipes over a century old, down-home Southern cooking, Thai and Italian foods, breweries, and vineyards right here for you to enjoy.

If you love the great outdoors, sprawling sporting clubs, wildlife parks, golfing, hunting, fishing, and a waterpark are all within the county lines.

History buff? Well, get comfortable because it will take you days to visit all of the historic sites and markers this county is home for.

You’ll quickly see that when it comes to fun, this isn’t Colorado County’s first rodeo.

And speaking of rodeos, the annual Colorado County Fair in Columbus is over 40 years strong. Three days loaded with carnival rides and eats, live music, rodeo excitement, and much more.

Economy

While the overall cost of living is nearly 20 percent lower than the US average in Columbus, the quality of living here is far above average.

The City of Columbus and surrounding areas offer breathtaking, historic homes for rent or sale, ranch-style homes with spacious acreage, as well as affordable apartments and duplexes.

Of Colorado County’s 2,000-plus businesses, close to 500 of those are women-owned firms, and over 500 minorityowned firms.

Some additional advantages of our small town living include: Columbus is attractively situated approximately 90 minutes away from any point in the “Golden Triangle”

10 Columbus Chamber of Commerce

of Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. Local workers enjoy commutes of less than 40 minutes of travel time to work.

With just over an hour’s drive to three of the major cities in Texas, catching flights or enjoying a quick “night in the big city” is easier than ever.

Colorado County is home to a number of industrial, healthcare, and retail businesses, with three independent school districts and two rural hospitals, including Columbus Community Hospital who was named in the Top 100 Rural Hospitals in America.

We remain powerful producers of agricultural products as well, with various crops and animals, including rice, corn, cattle, lamb, and more, raised each season.

Education

Columbus Independent School District, Rice Consolidated Independent School District and Weimar Independent School District all call Colorado County home. The county has a combined student enrollment of over 3,500 students and an average four-year graduation rate of nearly 90 percent.

The districts each offer experienced educators and small teacher/student ratios, as well as career, technical and vocational opportunities, audio/visual and healthcare classes, athletics, fine arts, and much more.

Garwood Elementary School, located in the Rice CISD, was awarded the prestigious title of a National Blue Ribbon School in 2019.

Colorado County also has two private Catholic Schools for students grades Kindergarten through eighth: St. Anthony Catholic School of Columbus, and St. Michael Catholic School of Weimar. Additionally, Clear Leadership Academy is a private learning center for grades 3K through 12.

Nature & Outdoor Activities

Is hunting your bag? Colorado County has long been regarded as a hunter’s paradise. We are home to the “Goose Hunting Capital of the World” and have entertained many celebrities over the years. Eagle Lake and the entire county is prime hunting grounds for deer, squirrel, quail, rabbit, dove, duck and much more. Spanning over 2,000 acres, Big Easy Ranch, a members and quests only sporting club is highly regarded to be one of only two hunting lodges in Texas endorsed by both Orvis and Shooting Sportsman.

Pintail Hunting Club in Garwood oversees in excess of 30,000 acres of owned and leased land and specializes in providing its hunters with the fullest ‘shotgunning’ experience. From the early September teal season to the last snow goose hunt in February, the action never stops.

Whether you want to tube float into the sunset, hunt at daybreak, or boat, fish, four-wheel, walk, bike, job, or bird watch - Colorado County invites you to take off your boots and stay awhile!

The two-room ABRAM ALLEY LOG CABIN/ ANTIQUE TOOL MUSEUM was built in 1836 after the Alleys returned from the “Runaway Scrape.” It is constructed of oak logs found near the Alley property at the Atoscosita Crossing south of Columbus. It was moved to Columbus and restored in 1976. Preserved since the Texas Revolution, this oak log cabin houses tools, furnishings, and artifacts. The iron gates are open daily for you to peer in and get a glimpse of how times were over 180 years ago.

THE EHRENWERTH BUILDING is the dominant building on the west side of Milam Street. The 1873 twostory commercial structure was built of bricks from a local kiln. By 1880, under the proprietorship of L.G. Smith, it became The Red Elk Saloon, one of the most popular bars in town.

THE STAFFORD OPERA HOUSE is the only flat-floored opera house still in existence in Texas. When it was originally built in 1886 by millionaire cattleman/banker Robert E. Stafford it housed a bank and a dry goods store on the first floor and a theater venue on the second floor. In addition to a Ford dealership, the building has served as an arena for basketball games and boxing matches as well as a rollerskating rink. www.columbushpt.com

TATE-SENFTENBERG-BRANDON HOUSE was constructed in 1867 by local businessman Phocion Tate. The house was sold in 1887 to Adolph Senftenberg, a local merchant who added the second floor and Eastlake style porches. Kenneth Brandon purchased the home in 1900, and added modern amenities to the property. The house operated as a historic house museum from the late 1960s to 2006. The home is the birthplace of J. Waddy Tate, former Mayor of Dallas.

THE TOWNSEND-WEST HOUSE was built by Marcus and Annie Townsend in 1890 and is Victorian in style with Eastlake embellishments. Townsend was a state representative and senator and sponsored the bill to buy the Alamo. The home was converted in 1990 to the Magnolia Oaks Bed & Breakfast. www.magnoliaoaks.com

Ira and Dilue Rose Harris built THE DILUE ROSE HARRIS HOUSE in 1858. It is of concrete construction and boasts a basement that originally had a dirt floor. Dilue participated in the “Runaway Scrape” at the end of the Texas Revolution and wrote her “reminiscences.” Shown by appointment only. Call 979-732-8385 to schedule.

THE MEWES-GANT HOUSE was built by German immigrant William Mewes in 1863. The home was owned by the Gant family from 1916-1984. In 1984 Laura Ann Rau purchased the home and moved it to its present location.

Thomas Harris, a physician from Virginia, built the OLD BRICK STORE in 1850 using locally made bricks. It housed the long-standing Fehrenkamp grocery store from 1912 to 1973. It is the oldest commercial building in Columbus. It now houses a clothing boutique.

FROM HISTORIC HOMES, FESTIVALS, NATURE, FARMERS MARKETS AND SHOPPING, WE DO TEXAS RIGHT HERE IN COLUMBUS.

The cultural diversity and rich history of Columbus makes it one of the most beloved small towns in Texas.

The sheer volume of things to do, places to visit and great things to eat packed into this small city is enough to entice you to stay awhile.

A number of permanent residents started off as weekend visitors, and were thrilled enough with Columbus to make it their new hometown.

With five museums, vineyards, an arts district, boutiques and restaurants on most every corner, you have not experienced small town Texas until you’ve experienced Columbus.

Thunder by the Colorado

TBC strives to provide safe, fun, affordable, family oriented entertainment, with the goal of reviving hot rod truck and tractor pulling excitement for local fans and fans across the state of Texas. Thunder by the Colorado is held the first weekend in May each year.

columbus Ladies Night

Night Out

Taking the town in Historic Columbus

Over 1,500 women (and men) descend upon Columbus to shop, sample fine wines and great food, and have fun on the first Thursday of December for the annual Ladies Night Out. The fun starts at 3:00 p.m., and local merchants and businesses stay open until 9 p.m. that night. A shuttle service is available to transport patrons to participating shops outside the immediate downtown area.

Each year, the Chamber of Commerce designs a commemorative wine glass that has become a much soughtafter collectible. The wine glasses are available for purchase at the Chamber office beforehand or on the day of the event.

Many merchants will have finger food in their shops. Others offer contests, incredible giveaways, or special sales and deals for the night. You can always find a famous “John Polach” hotdog at First State Bank at no cost or Chef Raoul’s delectable Cajun cuisine at the Opera House.

More than thirty additional vendors are set up downstairs inside the Opera House and on the Courthouse lawn, selling handbags and purses, custom yard signs, handembroidered items, Mary Kay products, baked goods, local honey, artwork, homemade soaps and lotions, baby and children’s items, gift baskets, candles, jewelry, vintage clothing, leather goods, local wine, metalwork, air fresheners and much, much more!

Even more merchandise vendors are set up along Milam Street and Walnut Street at various locations selling various items and products.

For those who don’t care to shop but want to be in on the fun, Hound Song Brewing Company is open and offering their craft brews and good eats. Remember to stop by Blake’s Kitchen and Kocktailz before or after for a delicious meal and

refreshing drinks.

The local “radio guy,” Darrel Appelt, entertains the crowd with holiday music right on the square, and there is typically live music at a few other spots around town.

Shoppers are encouraged to participate in “The Santa and Mrs. Claus Shopping Spree,” with an opportunity to win fabulous prizes from businesses around town. The top prize is always $1,000 in cash.

For sixteen years, Ladies Night Out has been the shopping event of the year for Columbus, and the Chamber is so fortunate to have generous donors to make it all possible. The Chamber invites everyone to come to Columbus on Thursday, December 7, and enjoy a night out on the town. Remember, Ladies Night Out is not just for ladies. Everyone is encouraged to come out for the fun.
