Orange Grove, TX

Orange Grove is a Jim Wells County city on Texas State Highway 359, between Mathis and Alice. Mathis lies about 12 miles northeast, while Alice, the county seat, is about 18 miles southwest. That puts Orange Grove in the South Texas farm-and-ranch corridor between the Coastal Bend and the county seat, with the highway doing the practical work of linking homes, school, and regional services.

Orange Grove Independent School District gives the city its strongest civic institution, with local schools serving students from the surrounding rural area. Highway 359 carries daily traffic through town and ties Orange Grove to larger services in Alice and Mathis. That distance keeps the city connected to both ends of its local service area. The city's small footprint sits inside a much broader agricultural landscape, where brush country and long straight roads shape the view. Orange Grove is a South Texas community whose rhythm comes from school, highway, and the spaces between two nearby service centers.
