Floresville, Texas was named for early rancher, Don Francisco Flores de Abrego, who established his ranch about six miles northwest of the current location in 1832. In 1833 the nucleus of the present town was founded on land donated by the Flores family; it became the seat of Wilson County in 1885.
With a growing season of 285 days, Floresville is a marketing point for watermelons, flax, cotton, beef cattle, dairy and poultry products.
Sandy soils of the area are especially suited to the production of peanuts, and the town's biggest festival salutes the lowly legume during the second weekend of October. Wilson County produces 30 million pounds of peanuts each year. A huge peanut on the courthouse lawn recognizes the peanut crop grown in the area.
