About Goliad
What it is like to live here
Goliad is the seat of Goliad County and one of the oldest towns in Texas. The city’s own history page calls it the third oldest municipality in the state and says the town centers on the Goliad County Courthouse, completed in 1894. The 2020 Census counted 1,620 people in the city and 7,012 in the county.
The courthouse and the 19th and early 20th century buildings around it were entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and in 1984 Goliad became the smallest town in Texas picked for the Main Street Program.
Outside town the county is open country, with homes on acreage and ranch land. A property with its own water well falls under the Goliad County Groundwater Conservation District, so ask about the well’s registration and the district’s rules.
