A Little about Gatesville

Still small enough so that everyone knows their neighbors, Gatesville has now grown to offer all of the services and advantages of a modern city. Named for Fort Gates in 1854, Gatesville is at the North Entrance of today's Ft. Hood, the largest US Army Post.

As the County Seat of Coryell County, deep in the Heart of Central Texas, Gatesville is conveniently located on the Leon River at the intersection of US Highway 84 and Texas Highway 36.

Whether traveling for business or pleasure, be sure to save a few moments to visit the Buckhorn Museum, recalling history of cowboys and Indians, outlaws and ranchers. Faunt Le Roy Park on the Leon River has biking and hiking trails, perfectly suited for some fresh air and sunshine. The Coryell County Court House is one of the finest remaining Romanesque Renaissance Revival Architectural monuments in the US. Be sure to see the copper-domed Clock Tower and the Rotunda Skylight, a Texas Star pattern in art glass.

Stop by the Depot for your "Welcome Packet" or to browse the information available for visitors to the area.
