Lying nestled along the Colorado River in the very heart of Texas with beautifully restored historical homes and buildings, active civic organizations, a thriving downtown district and industrial plants, Ballinger proudly serves the surrounding Agri-Plex and Runnels County as county seat.  Fertile farm and ranch lands in the area produce primarily cotton, grain, sheep, cattle and oil.  Ballinger is proud of the beautiful, well kept 20 acre tree shaded City Park located along Elm Creek.  Excellent hunting for dove, quail, turkey, wild hogs and deer surround the city.  Ballinger has two “City Lakes” with recreational areas, RV hookups, and some of the best fishing in Texas.  Lake O.H. Ivie is a 30 minute drive from Ballinger.  The authentically restored Carnegie Library is worth a trip to Ballinger.  All this, plus the Friendliest people you’ll ever meet is just a few of the many reasons Ballinger is called “The Greatest Little Town in Texas!”
