Hunt is at the junction of the north and south forks of the Guadalupe River, on Hwy 29, 12 miles west of
Kerrville in central
Kerr County.
Since the 1920s Hunt has served as the center of one of the most popular Hill Country resort areas. The majority of Kerr County's guest ranches and summer camps are located within a few miles of the town; its economy depends on these visitors and on the part-time residents who own the many vacation homes lining the river. In 1974 the population of Hunt was estimated at 700. In 1990 it was 708.
