About Hallettsville
A courthouse square and a Czech and German heritage
Hallettsville has been the Lavaca County seat since 1852, and the courthouse square is still the middle of town. City Hall is a two-story red brick building from 1917 on the corner of the square. After the Civil War, Czech and German settlers made the town the agricultural center of the county, and Lavaca County still points to that heritage in its architecture, its food and its festivals.
The city had 2,731 residents in the 2020 Census, in a county of 20,337. Inside the city, City Hall handles electricity, water and sewer service and publishes the trash and recycling schedule. Cattle ranching and farming are a vital part of the county’s economy, and outside the city limits septic systems are permitted through the county.
