Centerville blends small-town familiarity with practical convenience, anchored by its role as the county seat of Leon County. Set along the I‑45 corridor, it offers an easygoing pace, quick access to regional job centers, and a historic courthouse square that doubles as the community’s living room. Weekends often revolve around local eateries, youth sports, and outdoor excursions at nearby Fort Boggy State Park, where families fish, paddle, and hike amid rolling, wooded hills at the well-maintained Fort Boggy State Park.
Schools are a point of pride. The Centerville Independent School District emphasizes close-knit classrooms, spirited athletics, and hands-on programs like FFA, helping students build skills that matter both on campus and in the community. Public services are robust for a town this size, with county resources accessible through the Leon County offices and agricultural support and workshops offered by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension – Leon County.
Higher education and culture are within easy reach, with Sam Houston State University in nearby Huntsville and the flagship Texas A&M University close enough for continuing education, research ties, or game-day getaways. Whether you’re drawn by manageable property sizes, a strong school community, or the call of the pines and lakes, Centerville offers a grounded lifestyle with room to grow.
