The Utopia Ranch Rodeo is held the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend their CPRA Rodeo is held the latter weekends of the month of June, and they hold an Open Rodeo the final weekend of June. With its location in Texas' prime ranching country, it comes as no surprise that Utopia stages its own first-class rodeo. For more information, check out their Facebook page.

The Sabinal Canyon Museum (named for the river that flows near Utopia) offers exhibits that showcase the history of Utopia and the surrounding countryside. Backroads Reservations is proud to present this rundown of major highlights and events in the Utopia area, complete with links to more detailed information. Now the city's claim to fame-and to its name-is the naturally-utopian setting in the wooded area of the Hill Country surrounding it.įor a town with a total population of around 227, there's more to take in around Utopia than a casual passer-by might imagine. (The area's oldest cemetery is still called “Waresville Cemetery.”) In the 1880s, the settlement was briefly renamed Montana-until it was discovered there was already an incorporated community by that name in Texas. Indeed, it was founded as Waresville, named after Captain William Ware, a retired soldier of the Texas Revolution who settled there in the early 1850s. Texas has its own Utopia, nestled in the state's breathtaking Hill Country region in Ulvalde County-and though an academic utopia may be impossible to achieve, the people of Utopia, Texas have done a fine job creating a setting that suits folks just fine-and that goes for the friendly reception they roll out to their visitors, too.Įven though Utopia, Texas' town motto is “An Ideally, Perfect Place,” there's no real indication that the area was settled with being a true utopia in mind. Sound impossible? You're probably right in most mentions of utopias in literature, they were used more as a warning than an ideal such a balance would have been so delicate that it would have been destined to fail, human nature being what it was, and is. Every aspect of that society-economic, political, social, class, creative, scientific, and so forth-is advanced and balanced in so perfect a way that everything hums along without conflict or error. What is a utopia, then? In the literary and historical sense, it's a societal arrangement as close to perfection as can be created by human beings. Though the word was coined by Sir Thomas More in 1516, the concept of a Utopian society dates all the way back to Plato's Republic, written around 375 BC. Loosely translated from the Greek, the word itself means “no place” or “not a place,” in essence, a society too good to really exist. We have a web site which shows multiple pictures of the facilities.Utopia: the perfect society. There are several top bands, photographers, wedding planners, etc in the area. We also have one site between giant Cypress Trees. One site in pool side and another with the waterfall in the background.
