Evant, TX

Evant is a quiet Central Texas community sitting right along the line between Coryell and Hamilton counties. Home to around 500 residents, the town centers on the junction of U.S. Highways 84 and 281. That convenient crossroads makes it easy to get around the region, putting neighboring towns like Hamilton, Gatesville, and Lampasas within a half-hour drive for everyday errands, healthcare, and dining while keeping life at home relaxed and rural.

The area was first settled in the mid-1800s around Langford Cove, later taking the name Evant after an early resident donated land for the townsite. Today, it remains a close-knit community where local pride centers around the school district and cheering on the Evant High School Elks. For newcomers looking for wide-open skies, friendly neighbors, and room to spread out, Evant offers an authentic small-town setting with simple highway connections across Central Texas.
