About Edna
A railroad town near Lake Texana
Edna is the Jackson County seat, set where US 59 meets State Highway 111. The town traces its start to 1882, when the first train of the New York, Texas and Mexican Railway came through and the railroad bypassed the older county seat of Texana. The City of Edna calls itself Flag City and counts 5,987 residents (2020 Census).
Lake Texana is about 8 miles east of town, a reservoir on the Navidad River managed by the Lavaca-Navidad River Authority, which also runs the Brackenridge Recreation Complex on the lake. In and around town you will find homes on city streets, homes on an acre or more, farms and ranches, and open land.
Utilities change with the address. The City of Edna provides water and sewer within the city limits and to selected places outside them, and a home beyond those lines may use a private well and septic system. Ask which one a property has, and check the flood zone, before you write an offer.
