Jasper County

 

Jasper County is the Butterfly Capital of Texas because of the monarch migration through East Texas every spring and fall. The Monarch butterfly is the state insect of Texas.

Jasper County’s Texas A&M AgriLife Extension services offer a variety of educational outreach services including Master Gardener & Master Naturalist; 4-H and youth education; health and nutrition; and Ag and natural resources programs.

Jasper County is located in East Texas and the county seat, Jasper, is 115 miles northeast of Houston and 23 miles west of the Sabine River and Louisiana. It lies halfway between Beaumont and Lufkin. Jasper is surrounded by numerous rivers, national and state forests for fishing, hunting, camping and boating, and three major lakes, Lake Sam Rayburn, Toledo Bend and Steinhagen, aka Dam B. It is home to Martin Dies Jr. State Park, and a state fish hatchery near Brookeland.

The 4-H program in Jasper County offers a variety of activities for youth, third grade through 18 years of age. The Jasper County Junior Livestock Show and Sale is in March. Click on the 4-H tab for newsletters and links to state 4-H websites.

Jasper County ranks as one of the largest producers of forestry-related products in Texas based on gross receipts from timber production. The County is fairly diversified agriculturally with producers in beef cattle, hay production, nurseries and hunting leases. It is our goal to provide quality research-based information, educational programs and technical assistance to the people of Jasper County.
