“The Heart of South Texas”

Cuero is a small but unique and community-centric city that is perfect for growing families! It was founded in 1873 because of its popularity as a stopping point on the Chisholm Trail, a cattle driving route from South Texas to Kansas. Since then, Cuero has maintained this legacy with expansive ranches and profitable farmland. 

Things to See and Do

Cuero offers its residents and visitors exciting Friday night lights, an annual turkey-racing celebration, and a municipal park with many attractions. Cuero HS football games are an exciting Friday night event that brings all of Cuero’s residents out to support their championship-winning gobblers. Turkeyfest often attracts residents from surrounding cities to have fun watching turkey races, listening to live music, and enjoy a competitive barbecue cook-off. Cuero’s municipal park boasts a well kept 9-hole golf course and a lake where you can fish and rent a paddleboard!
