Webberville, TX

Webberville is a quiet, rural community set along the Colorado River, roughly 15 miles east of Austin down FM 969. The town has deep roots dating back to the 1830s, when John Ferdinand Webber and his wife Silvia Hector Webber, a pioneering interracial couple, established a homestead on what was then known as Webber’s Prairie. Over the decades, it grew from a lively river-ferry crossing and farming hub into a peaceful small town that still values its wide-open spaces and historic charm.

Today, life in Webberville revolves around the outdoors and the easy pace of country living. Webberville Park is a local favorite, offering riverfront trails, disc golf, and a boat ramp that makes it easy to kayak, fish, or spend a Saturday on the water. Families are zoned to Del Valle schools, and sprawling solar fields dot the surrounding pastures. It offers plenty of acreage and big Texas skies for anyone looking to slow down without straying too far from the city.
