Situated off the western shores of the Texas Gulf Coast bordering rugged Brush Country, Kingsville maintains deep historical roots while embracing modern industry. Kingsville is perhaps best known as the home of the King Ranch, which is one of the largest working ranches in the world, covering more acres of land than the state of Rhode Island. The King Ranch is a major agribusiness with interests in cattle ranching, farming, luxury retail goods, and recreational hunting.

Kingsville also contains Texas A&M University-Kingsville and Naval Air Station Kingsville, which contribute to the growing local economy. In addition to the combination of history and modern industry, Kingsville offers residents small-town charm and a slower pace of life. A host of quaint shops, boutiques, and cafes line Kingsville’s historic downtown while annual events like the Halloween Carnival, Ranch Hand Festival, and Kleberg Kenedy County Junior Livestock Show bring the community together on a regular basis.
