The Blanco County County Seat Battle and Old Town Hall Echoes
In Blanco County long ago the county seat moved from Blanco City to Johnson City after a fierce fight. The old courthouse in Blanco Square stood as a symbol of bygone power while local figures like Hez Williams and push for Hays City split the county into hill country and San Marcos factions. A 1927 wooden building on the square was razed as population shifted, and stories from ranchers and neighbors recall cow thefts, justice by public will, and community actions that defined local governance.
