With its wide-open spaces and endless sky, Hempstead embodies everything you'd want in a small Texas town. It even offers the Western-style downtown shopping area, filled with shops and restaurants. The Waller County Courthouse is in the heart of downtown -- Hempstead is its county seat. Situated about 50 miles northwest of Downtown Houston and about 40 miles southeast of College Station -- home of Texas A&M University -- Hempstead is ideal for those commuting in either (or both) direction.
Hempstead's claim to fame is its watermelons. Until around 1940, it was the nation's biggest watermelon producer, and the town still holds a Watermelon Festival every July. The festival includes a car show, a parade, live music, BBQ cook-offs, and more. During December, the Festival of Lights includes vendors, a parade, live entertainment, and a tree-decorating contest.
