Erath County blends wide-open spaces with energetic small-town living, anchored by Stephenville and Dublin. The area’s ranching roots and rodeo pedigree run deep, and weekends often center on community events, live music, and arena lights. Tarleton State University’s academic and cultural footprint adds year-round performances, lectures, and Division I athletics to the calendar, making the county feel both collegiate and comfortably familiar.
Families appreciate strong local schools, with Stephenville ISD and Dublin ISD known for spirited academics, competitive athletics, and career-ready programs. Tarleton State University’s dual-credit opportunities and continuing education courses create a seamless path from K–12 to higher ed, while the Erath County government offers accessible services and resources for residents and newcomers alike.
Outdoors, the Bosque River Trail, city parks, and nearby Proctor Lake deliver easy escapes for hiking, paddling, and fishing. Equestrian culture is front and center at Lone Star Arena, where rodeos and stock shows showcase the county’s celebrated “Cowboy Capital” spirit. For a quick day trip, stroll the historic square in Granbury, then return to local staples—craft sodas, farm stands, and Friday night lights.
