About Floresville.
The Peanut Capital of Texas — and one of the fastest-growing communities in South Texas.
Founded in 1867 and named for the Flores family of early Spanish settlers, Floresville sits 30 miles southeast of San Antonio in the heart of Wilson County. With deep agricultural roots, a thriving Main Street, and proximity to the Eagle Ford Shale, our city offers small-town hospitality and big opportunity.
From the historic Wilson County Courthouse to the new inclusive playground at Pecan Park, Floresville is a place where heritage and progress live side by side. Our 9,000+ residents enjoy excellent schools, expanding parks, a vibrant downtown, and a city government committed to transparency and service.
By the numbers.
