Texas has a history unlike any other in the United States. A relative latecomer to the Union Texas was fought over rather intensely between a rag tag band of American patriots and the formidable Mexican army. This struggle has given Texas a fighting spirit that makes those who live there truly appreciate Liberty. This is never more true then in Liberty Texas.

Among oldest settled areas of Texas, several hundred Anglo-Americans established farms in 1820s on Mexican land grants. Town laid out 1831, named "Billa de la Santissima Trinidad de la Libertad," quickly shortened to Liberty by English-speaking residents. William B. Travis, Sam Houston, and David Burnet all practiced law in Liberty. Three brothers from town died at the Alamo; some 50 Liberty citizens fought in Battle of San Jacinto in 1836, when Texas won its independence.

Seat of Liberty County, town was a busy port when steamboats plied the trinity River in the late 19th Century. Today a farming-ranching community with substantial oil production dating from 1925. And while the town has just over 8,000 people, there are still great opportunities especially in real estate to be found here.
