Granbury
Texas Visitor and Information Guide
Founded in
1863, Granbury Texas started as a square and log cabin court
house. Many of the buildings on the square are now
registered historic landmarks, including the Granbury
Opera House, which still hosts Broadway productions. The
city name originated from the Confederate General Hiram
B. Granberry. Some scholars believe his name was misread
as Granbury on a document, thus the city name is spelled
differently, but recent findings have concluded that
Granbury chose to spell his name Granbury. Recent
expansion of the city was possible from the damming of
the Brazos River in 1969, which formed Lake Granbury, a
long, narrow lake which flows through the city.
As of the
census of 2000, there were 5,718 people, 2,391
households, and 1,458 families residing in Granbury
Texas.
