COMMUNITY PROFILES

A pleasing climate, vast recreational opportunities, cultural advantages, a lively community atmosphere, and fine schools have earned Tom Green County’s leading city of San Angelo the moniker of “Pearl of the Concho.” Well known as a hunter’s paradise, the county has a reputation for some of the finest deer, turkey and quail hunting in Texas. With exceptional resources for outdoor enjoyment like three recreational lakes, the Concho river walk, and San Angelo State Park, residents enjoy boating, fishing, water-skiing, cycling, hiking, camping, horseback riding, golfing and playing tennis. Opportunities for spectator thrills include collegiate clashes with the San Angelo State University Rams, the San Angelo Colts of the United Baseball League, the annual Stock Show and Rodeo, and professional arena football excitement with the San Angelo Bandits. Developed resources are equally outstanding in local parks and recreation centers, providing residents of all ages with opportunities to socialize, exercise, develop skills, and participate in league play.
