Discover the Difference in
Granbury, Texas!
General Hiram B. Granbury was one of the most popular and colorful leaders in the Confederate Army.
There has always been confusion about the spelling of his name. His statue on the courthouse lawn
in Hood County which was erected by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, General Granbury Chapter
No. 683, has it spelled "Granbury". His tombstone in the Granbury Cemetery has it spelled "Granberry".
In November 1866, the legislation organizing Hood County specified that the county seat be named
"Granberry"; and the legislation incorporating the town in May 1873 spells it that way.
We Hood Countians have always had the story that it was an error in setting the type when the Legislature
created the county to be named for General John Bell Hood with Granbury, the county seat, to be named
for General Hiram B. Granbury who served under General Hood.
A dam across the Brazos River at De Cordova Bendqv southeast of Granbury was completed in 1969, forming
Lake Granbury. The town responded with new marinas and shopping malls to serve the expanding residential
developments along the meandering riverbed. Further growth came with the construction of the Comanche Peak
Nuclear Power Plant in the 1980s, which brought in thousands of employees to Somervell and Hood counties.
In 1990 Granbury's independent school district listed taxable properties amounting to more than $1 billion.
The population in 1990 was 4,045. In addition to its historic square, Granbury's tourist attractions
include facilities for golfing, fishing, and boating. The Granbury Queen, an old paddle wheeler, cruises
the lake on weekends. Annual events include the Fourth of July Parade and the Bean Cook Off. The fifth annual
reunion of the descendants of David Crockett was held in Granbury in 1990.
Today you can discover rare treasures as you meander through more than 50 antique, art and gift galleries.
Savor the flavors at Texas cafes, fine restaurants and small town ice cream parlors. Catch musical high notes
at the fabled Opera House. Fish your limit or just relax deck side and enjoy the sunset on sparkling Lake
Granbury. Or just stroll through our Victorian town square, the first in Texas listed in the National Register
