A ranger captain gave name to this territory nested in between the communities of Hays, Travis, Bastrop, Fayette, Guadalupe, and Gonzalez Counties. Caldwell was established back in the first half of the 19th century with a total extension area of more than 545 square miles and only 2 square miles of water representing less that 1% of this community's area. When you come to this corner of Texas, we recommend you to pay a visit to the Caldwell County Courthouse in Lockhart due its lovely architecture and historic background worthy to be seen and enjoyed.
