About Alice

Located about 45 minutes west of Corpus Christi, Alice is a welcoming South Texas town of around 18,000 residents. Long called the Hub City because of its central crossroads in the region, the community was named after the daughter of King Ranch founder Richard King. Over the decades, the area transitioned from a cattle and oil town into a tight-knit community with deep local pride. Alice is also widely celebrated as the birthplace of Tejano music, honoring that rich cultural legacy at the Tejano R.O.O.T.S. Hall of Fame Museum.
