Alpine
Initially called Murphyville, Alpine became the seat of Brewster County in 1887. With Big Bend National Park just a bit to the south, it has been dubbed the “Hub of Big Bend.” A town of style and Western charm, Alpine has an extensive collection of galleries and antiques shops. You can stroll through the historic district, explore the Museum of the Big Bend, or spend your days in the great outdoors—think camping, hunting, mountain climbing, swimming, hiking, or golfing.
