About Driftwood

Driftwood is a Hays County CDP northwest of San Marcos that grew in the 1880s as a supply center for ranches and farms. By 1890 it had a post office, school, churches, cotton gin, and general store. FM 150 remains the community's defining corridor: a county character plan and a heritage-trail designation connect the road to Driftwood's historic landscape and current local planning.
