MOVING TO CALDWELL
Small Town Living CALDWELL’S PROXIMITY TO METROPOLITAIN AREAS MAKES IT A STELLAR CHOICE FOR ALL Burleson County, Texas is located in the middle of the Texas Triangle between Houston, Dallas/ Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio. The City of Caldwell is the county seat, a small rural community about 25 miles west of Bryan and College Station. The community has grown over the past couple of years due to the Eagle Ford Shale oil boom, and due to its location in the fast-growing Brazos Valley, Caldwell is expecting more growth. Caldwell’s blend of Texan, Czech, and other cultures plus its setting among fertile farmland, rolling hills, and Post Oak forests have equipped it with a range of natural and cultural assets. The population of Caldwell remained relatively stable from 1940 to the 1970s at just over 2,000. Caldwell’s population had increased to 3,449 by 2000, driven by
the economic bases of oil, agriculture, and livestock. Today, Caldwell has reached an estimated population of almost 4,400. Population projections for the county show continued growth over the coming decades, given the county’s relatively high birth rate, and that this new generation will be the most diverse in the history of the county. Caldwell maintains its strategic location at the junction of several trade and transportation networks, with significant amounts of road and rail-based freight passing through the county. State Highways 21 and 36 direct traffic from Mexico and the Gulf Coast through the Texas Triangle and eventually to Louisiana and Abilene. The significant rail infrastructure handles freight from all corners of the Texas Triangle.
