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.
