About George West

Serving as the Live Oak County seat, George West is a quiet South Texas crossroads town about an hour northwest of Corpus Christi. Settled along the Nueces River at the junction of Highways 281 and 59, it offers a relaxed, small-town pace rooted in ranching heritage. Families appreciate the close-knit community and dedicated local schools, while outdoor enthusiasts enjoy easy access to nearby fishing and hunting spots around Choke Canyon. The town also comes alive each fall for Storyfest, a popular gathering celebrating cowboy poetry, live music, and South Texas storytelling traditions.
