Alice, Texas Travel Guide
Region: South Texas Plains
Nearby: Kingsville
Named for the daughter of the founder of King
Ranch (a legendary 1.2-million-acre ranch built by a wildly successful
Irish immigrant and former Texas Ranger named Richard King), this South
Texas community was once the world's largest cattle shipping point.
Today the city is also active in the petroleum
business and is a favorite destination for hunters searching for javelina,
white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and dove.
Alice's southern location allows for tall
palm trees to grow alongside deciduous trees.
Attractions

14,000-acre lake offers campsites, showers, and screened shelters. Activities

traditions of the Jim Wells County region are showcased in this museum,
