History You Can Walk Through

First, there's downtown. Brick streets, historic buildings, and locally owned shops and restaurants make the town square a favorite gathering place. In addition, historic sites like the Old University Building, a Texas State Historical Landmark, tell the story of the town's long past.

A College Town with Community Spirit

Stephen F. Austin State University brings energy to Nacogdoches all year long. As a result, residents enjoy college sports, concerts, theater, and lectures close to home. The university's gardens are also part of why Nacogdoches is known as the Garden Capital of Texas.

Festivals, Lakes, and the Outdoors

Each summer, the Texas Blueberry Festival fills downtown with music, food, and family fun. Meanwhile, Lake Nacogdoches and the surrounding pine forests offer fishing, boating, hiking, and hunting. For many families, that mix of town and country is the best part of living in Nacogdoches.
