Guadalupe County is a county located in the U.S. state
of Texas. In 2000, its population was 89,023. It is named for the
Guadalupe River. The seat of the county is Seguin. It was founded
in 1846. Guadalupe County is part of the San Antonio Metropolitan
Statistical Area.
Guadalupe County is ninety miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico in
south central Texas and is bounded by Comal, Hays, Caldwell,
Gonzales, Wilson, and Bexar counties. Cibolo Creek forms the border
between Guadalupe and Bexar counties, and the San Marcos River
separates Guadalupe and Caldwell counties. Seguin, the county seat
and largest town, is on Interstate Highway 10 and U.S. Highway 90,
twenty-five miles southwest of Austin and eighteen miles northeast
of San Antonio. The county's center lies near Seguin at
approximately 29°35' north latitude and 97°57' west longitude. The
county covers 713 square miles of flat to rolling terrain with
local depressions and escarpments, and its elevation ranges from
450 to 800 feet above sea level. The northwestern section, near the
border with Comal and Hays counties, is part of the Blackland
Prairie; the rest of the county lies in the Upper Coastal Plain.
Soil types vary from dark, calcareous clay in the northwest to
fine, sandy loam in the southeast. Vegetation consists primarily of
mesquite, scrub brush, and grasses in drier areas of the county,
while water-tolerant hardwoods and conifers flourish near creeks.
The area has a mild subtropical climate, with temperatures ranging
from an average high of 96° in July and an average low of 42° in
January. The annual rainfall in the county averages 33 inches, and
the growing season averages 275 days.
