The area's character is deeply shaped by its presidential history and preserved open spaces. President Lyndon B. Johnson was born and raised on a ranch along the river, and today the LBJ National Historical Park and neighboring state park protect hundreds of acres of scenic riverfront, walking paths, and historic homesteads. Residents and visitors enjoy seeing roaming longhorns, bison, and working heritage farms, which help keep the surrounding countryside open and green.
