ABOUT ERATH COUNTY

In 1854, the land, including the site of Stephenville, was located and the title secured. This land was located on the upper Bosque River Valley in Central Texas. The state of Texas accepted this agreement, and in 1856 the County of Erath was organized with Stephenville as the county seat.

The county covers an area of 1,085 square miles, with an elevation ranging from 900 to 1700 feet above sea level. The annual rainfall is 30.3 inches.

Agriculture remains the number one industry of the county, with a 2002 income of $224,447,100. The county ranks number one in dairy cow numbers and production for the state of Texas. Stephenville is the home of Tarleton State University, which continues to increase in enrollment, with today’s enrollment at 8,324 (6,829 at the Stephenville campus and 1,495 at Killeen).
