Kimble County'

Kimble County's county seat is Junction. The county was created in 1858 and organized in 1876. It is named after George C. Kimbell, who died at the Battle of the Alamo. The spelling differs due to an error in the bill creating the county.

Junction remains the shipping and marketing center for Kimble County's livestock, wool, mohair, pecan, and grain production. It is also the hunting center for one of the state's leading deer-hunting counties. The town's other economic foundations include pecan processing, tourism, and a cedar oil plant.
