About Bosque County
Bosque County keeps a genuine slice of central Texas heritage that most I-35 travelers drive past without ever knowing it is there. The county seat of Meridian and the neighboring town of Clifton, founded by Norwegian immigrants in the 1850s, preserve a distinctly European character unusual in Texas. Clifton is often called the Norwegian Capital of Texas and maintains its Scandinavian heritage through its historic architecture and cultural identity. The Bosque River carves a scenic valley through cedar-covered limestone hills, and the county's farm roads connect small communities whose character has changed little in decades.
Highlights
- Clifton, TX: the 'Norwegian Capital of Texas,' settled by Scandinavian immigrants with preserved heritage character
- Meridian town square, the Bosque County seat with a historic courthouse and local dining
- Bosque River valley: scenic farm roads winding through cedar hills and river bottom farmland
- Local cafes and bakeries in Clifton and Meridian: small-town Texas hospitality at its most genuine
- Antique shopping in Clifton: several shops with genuine Texas Hill Country finds
- Low-traffic FM roads, excellent country for cycling and motorcycle touring
