Welcome to San Augustine County.
Located on the Old San Antonio Road, known as
"El Camino Real de los Tejas" that early settlers traveled to the beautiful
Piney Woods of East Texas. San
Augustine is the home of the first university, churches of all denominations,
and the first American settlement in Texas. The abundant history in our area is
evident in over 50 recorded Texas Historical Landmark homes and sites.
