The landscape around Three Rivers is a low, semi-arid South Texas plain crossed by the Atascosa, Frio and Nueces rivers, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The town takes its name from these waterways, whose confluence gives this Live Oak County seat a distinct identity within Texas river country. Three Rivers became the county seat in 1919, replacing Oakville. Choke Canyon Reservoir, formed on the Frio River upstream, is central to the area’s water landscape and recreation, while ranching and energy activity remain important to the regional economy.
