Welcome

The City of La Grange welcomes you to our community and the exciting opportunities available for your enjoyment and entertainment as well as your business purposes.

La Grange is a city of 4,200 people with a trading area of 22,000 strategically located within the triangle of Austin, San Antonio and Houston. Our location provides a perfect place to spend a weekend, a week, a winter or a lifetime. Seventeen miles from Interstate 10 and only 50 miles from an international airport, La Grange is the site of Monument Hill State Park, the Faison Home, the future home of the Texas Czech Heritage Cultural Center, and other historical sites.

Because of our German and Czech heritage, our residents have a strong work ethic that is evident in the thriving business community. Our restaurants and bakeries offer some of the state's best home style cooking and treats.
La Grange is the county seat of Fayette County and the courthouse is the center of our restored downtown square. Volunteers from throughout the community came together to restore the 115 year old county jail, which is used today as a Visitor's Information Center and the offices of the La Grange Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Fayette County Industrial Foundation.

We are a city with a proud history. Our forefathers were the first settlers into this wild land of Texas. They fought and many died for Texas Independence. Today we continue to reflect the best of our heritage and our dreams for the future.

Tourism abounds, businesses flourish, children are safe, and we anticipate the future with optimism, excitement, and a plan for our city. The county boasts an unemployment rate of only 3%, and La Grange is known statewide for our outstanding schools.
