Kingsville, TX

Kingsville is a South Texas city and the seat of Kleberg County, closely associated with King Ranch and Texas A&M University-Kingsville. General Zachary Taylor's army camped along Santa Gertrudis Creek in 1846, before the city's later ranching and railroad-era growth. Today the economy is tied to agriculture, energy, education, and regional services, with naval aviation nearby also part of the larger area. Kingsville feels like a ranch-country college town, with palm trees, heat, history, and a strong South Texas character.
