The Smallest Town In Texas Is Only 5 Hours From Her Biggest City

Texas is loaded with big cities, very cool and charming small cities, in between cities and tons of really cool, small towns.

We all know the city of Houston is the big dog. Home to 2.3 million people, it's not only the biggest city in Texas, it's the 4th biggest city in the entire United States Of America.

It's actually closing in on the #3 spot, (Chicago), pretty quickly. The 'H' in H Town, I guess, really stands for HUUUUUUUUGE.

Meanwhile, the smallest town in Texas has WAYYYY fewer peeps living in it than Houston does and it's fairly close by. A 5 hour drive is all that separates the two. Yes, 5 hours is a little long but, in Texas terms, that's a quick little day trip. We have one highway that takes 11 hours to drive, end to end.

What Is The Smallest Town In Texas?

On the other side of the coin lies the smallest town in Texas. Guerra, Texas is barely in Texas. It's barely in the United States for that matter. Guerra sits only 20 miles from the US - Mexico border at the southern tip of the state.

The smallest town in Texas is located in Jim Hogg County, where the population consists of only 3 people according to HomeTownLocator. Established in 1906, the town was previously referred to as “El Colorado” due to the number of red cattle in the area. - secrethouston

Guerra doesn't even cover 6 miles of ground and has around 3 residents, down from the towns glory days when 100 ... yes, a full "hunnert" ... folks called Guerra home. I bet the hustle and bustle back then was maddening.
