Things have gotten pretty crispy around these parts.  It isn't like we haven't struggeled through a drought before but this one is pretty darn bad!  The City of Bastrop has just implemented it's Stage II Drought contingency plan with restrictions for water use based on times and locations.    With all the weird weather patterns lately some parts of the country are getting more rain than normal ( probably ours ) and we aren't getting any ( send it our way! ).  Although my husband and I have our own private well and we live out in the County  we are going to abide by the restrictions in place for the City by choice.  Needless to say thoughts and prayers in this area are focusing on some much needed rainfall here in Bastrop and for the rest of dry dry dry Central Texas !  

 

Bastrop Texas has a long and varied history.  

In the very early 1800's  the Spanish established a fort where the  "Kings Highway"  crossed the Colorado River on it's way to Louisiana to the east and Mexico to the south.  Bastrop's existence was fortified by the river, the road of commerce, it's fertile soils, and the loblolly pines.  The town of Bastrop was platted in the mid 1800's.  The rolling pastures, fertile soils, and pines in the area appealed to settlers. Large farms and ranches were established.  Cotton and lumber were a consistent form of commerce for many years.

Today Bastrop is a great mix of new and old.  

Along Highway 71 ( a part of the old "Kings Highway"  )  the  conveniences of many nationally known box stores, restaurants, and hotels have sprung up.  The recent growth has brought Bastrop a new City Hall, Convention Center, and Performing Arts Center. But, don't worry, Bastrop has not lost it's quaint historic feel.  

Bastrop has been named Texas' Most Historic Town.  

On downtown Main Street businesses are conducted out of many Historic buildings.  Walk a few blocks off of Main Street and you will find a grand collection of vintage and historic homes  along the  tree lined streets in the Bastrop Historic Districts. 

Bastrop growth has also brought newer residential subdivisions convenient to local schools in Bastrop and  out in the county there are subdivisions that offer estate sized lots,  and some are  even horse friendly.  The County also is rich with beautiful farm and ranch acreages with stocked tanks, sandy loam soils, pastures, pines, and oaks. 

Outdoor types enjoy Bastrop County for all it has to offer!  

With fishing, kayaking, and canoeing on the Colorado River, to  golf at three local golf courses,  hiking and camping at two local parks in the pines, fishing and boating on Lake Bastrop   about three miles outside of town, and riding trails at McKinney Roughs, there is something for everyone in Bastrop!
