Enormous, windswept Live Oaks dominate the landscape, looking as if they are caught and frozen by a strong wind blowing overland from the Gulf of Mexico. Texas' oldest live oak, aptly named the Big Tree, has an estimated age of nearly 2,000 years and resides on Lamar Peninsula.
Named for the ledge of rock that lies beneath its shore, Rockport is a city in Aransas County that is home to 8,978 residents and growing with each new year! Located on Live Oak Peninsula, sandwiched between Aransas and Copano Bay, the area was founded just after the Civil War as a cattle slaughtering, packing and shipping port. By 1871, Rockport incorporated as a city and by the 1890s, the boat building and fishing industries began to grow and provide another boon to the local economy. It is amazing how much this little city has grown and changed over the past century. Modern day Rockport has become a favorite destination for tourists from all over the world. Popular with kite-boarders for the never ending supply of coastal wind, as well as with fishermen and boating fanatics for fishing and water skiing. See more
