The seat of
Burleson County, Caldwell is located southwest of
Bryan at the intersection of Hwys 21 and 36 near Somerville Lake.
The Burleson County Industrial Foundation, organized in 1961, and the Chamber of Commerce have been responsible for locating four manufacturing plants and twelve oil-related industries in the town. The courthouse square, dominated by the fourth courthouse to be built on the site, is the heart of town, and motels, restaurants, a shopping mall, grocery stores, and service stations line the two highways.
