want to share it with you. |

Mason is a community with lots of history...
Settled from the south by German immigrants and from the north and east by
English, Irish and Americans. From the west, the Mexicans. The cultural
influences are still visible today of all those groups and more.
Agriculture was the
lifeblood of the community in the early days, and for many, it still
remains vital. Ranching and farming are the primary industries, but now
deer hunting and viticulture (wine grape production) have joined the
landscape of cattle, peanuts, watermelons, sheep and goats.
So, welcome. Welcome to Mason, the Gem of the Hill Country, where blue topaz
can be found. Welcome to Mason where beautiful old buildings around a charming
town square now play host to tourists who have made Mason a destination, no
matter what the season. And, welcome to Mason, where time slows down a bit and
people still wave when they make eye contact.
Welcome to Mason. Welcome to Mason County. Welcome home!
