Killeen

Killeen combines the brisk, international character of an Army community with the open, low-rise feel of Central Texas, reflecting its position beside Fort Cavazos. Founded in 1882 as a stop on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway, the city was named for railroad official Frank Killeen. Fort Cavazos, known as Fort Hood until 2023, has long shaped local employment, population and daily life. Stillhouse Hollow Lake, formed on the Lampasas River, lies southeast of the city, while the Hill Country begins farther west.
