Groesbeck is a small city in central Texas that serves as the county seat of Limestone County. It sits at the intersection of State Highways 14 and 164, in the northern part of the broad Texas Triangle region, roughly between Waco to the northwest and the Bryan-College Station area to the southeast. The city recorded a population of 3,631 at the 2020 census, and it anchors a rural county whose economy has long centered on agriculture. The area around Groesbeck has been settled since the mid-1830s, and the town grew into a trade center and rail stop as cotton, livestock, and other farm products moved through the region. That agricultural foundation remains central to local life, while the economy has diversified over time into lignite coal and natural gas extraction and small-scale manufacturing. Groesbeck's courthouse — sometimes called the "Million Dollar Courthouse" — reflects the civic ambitions of an early 20th-century Texas county seat. Groesbeck's strongest draws are historical and recreational. Fort Parker State Park lies a short distance north of the city, built around a Civilian Conservation Corps-era dam on the Navasota River that created Fort Parker Lake. The park preserves the story of Cynthia Ann Parker and the Parker family, and nearby Old Fort Parker offers a reconstructed fort with living-history interpretation. Lake Limestone, a major reservoir to the south and east, extends the region's fishing, boating, and paddling opportunities, including limestone bluff paddle trails. For residents, Groesbeck offers the quiet, community-centered pace of a small Texas county seat — with its own school district, local services, and historic courthouse square — while remaining within driving distance of larger cities such as Waco and Mexia for additional employment, health care, and shopping. It appeals to households drawn to rural central Texas, lake country, and the region's layered frontier history.
