Spicewood

Initiated as a post office in 1899, Spicewood served the neighboring communities as the focus of community life. In 1919, Spicewood became the official name of the local school district, prospering much later with the introduction of Farm Road 93 (later State Highway 71) in the 1940s. The road encouraged several businesses and homesteaders, yet keeping Spicewood a small dot on the map. The huge population influx came in later years, starting from just over 100 residents in 1990 to over 5,000 residents in 2000, more than doubling to its present count, approximated at over 12,000. The hill county views, vast waterfront property and playful lifestyle contribute to the growing population.
