Junction, Texas
Junction, Texas Chamber of Commerce
Junction is named for its location at
the confluence of the North and South Llano Rivers. We are
just a little west of
Kerrville, Texas.
History
The community was founded in 1876
after the organization of Kimble County earlier that year.
The original town site was named Denman after Marcellus
Denman, who had surveyed and platted the new community. The
name Denman was quickly changed to Junction City. In late
1876, Junction City won the designation of county seat from
the unsuccessful and flood-prone settlement of Kimbleville.
By 1879, a drugstore, livery stable, sawmill, and a few
general stores were active in the community. Around 300
people were living in Junction City in 1882. The West Texas,
Kimble County's first newspaper, began publishing in 1882.
The county courthouse and its records were lost to a fire in
1884. A second, two-story brick stone courthouse was
partially destroyed in an 1888 fire, but was repaired and
remained in use until 1929, when the present courthouse was
constructed. In 1894, Junction City became known simply as
Junction. Infrastructure improvements marked the decade of
the 1890s. Businessman Ernest Holekamp provided the city's
first waterworks with a canal dug from the South Llano to
Junction in 1895. A dam was built in 1896 on the South Llano
River to provide power and water to the city and irrigation
to surrounding lands.
The population stood at 536 in 1900.
Four Mile Dam, a more permanent and extensive dam, was
completed in 1904. Junction continued to rapidly grow with
around 800 residents living in the community in 1910. That
figure had grown to 1,250 by 1920. By the late 1920s,
citizens felt the need for the benefits of a municipal
government. On August 27, 1927, H.O. Denman and 152 others
presented an incorporation petition to Kimble County Judge
J.B. Randolph. In the election, 390 votes were cast: 274
(70%) "For Incorporation" and 116 (30%) "Against
Incorporation." A city officers' election took place on
October 13, 1927 with Ernest Holekamp elected as
Junction's
first mayor. During the mid-1920s, highway connections from
Junction to Menard and
San
Angelo were made available. A sewer system was built in
1929. In the 1930 census, the city recorded 1,415 residents.
Junction was the chief shipping and commercial center of
Kimble County, as well as a tourist resort and hunting
center. A new municipal building and fire station were
opened in 1939 and 1940, respectively. In the mid-1940s, the
cedar-oil business enhanced the economy, but the city's
growth slowed. Throughout the latter half of the twentieth
century, Junction's population continued to hover around
2,600. A 2007 U.S. Census Bureau estimate placed the
population at 2,576, a 1.6 percent decline from the 2000
Census figure of 2,618.
