Liberty Hill is a city between the north and south forks of San Gabriel River in in Williamson County. It is 15 miles west of Georgetown and 33 miles northwest of Austin. The town began back in the 1840’s with a few settlers. A post office was created in 1853 three miles west of the Liberty Hill’s current location. Soon after, William Oliver Spencer was named postmaster. Spencer was the individual to suggest the name Liberty Hill.

Before Liberty Hill was known for its State Champions, the fightin’ Panthers, it was a small community built by farmers and ranchers who settled the area between the North and South forks of the San Gabriel River. Today locals enjoy the rolling Texas Hill Country, swimming in crystal clear waters, hiking and camping, farmers markets, area wineries and breweries and the many festivals and events only a small town can offer.
