Welcome To Bowie Texas!

Incorporated in 1883, Bowie began with a
population of 1,100 settlers and 50 local
businesses. Today, its population numbers
5,400, with industries ranging from apparel
and athletic goods manufacturing, to
agriculture, energy, machine manufacturing,
and strong retail trade.

Is Bowie named for the Texas hero Jim
Bowie? Probably, but a popular workman on
the railroad was named 'Buie', so his name
was tossed about as a choice. His name
suggested the Alamo hero, and it also
symbolized those early pioneers whose
strong spirit helped carve out the West. That
strong pioneer spirit still prevails in Bowie
today!

Bowie has been called "Cowboy Country",
and the name fits, as its ranking in both the
amateur rodeo status grows each year.

During the last weekend of June, Bowie
comes alive with the festivities of Jim Bowie
Days Festival and Rodeo. One of the
highlights is the two-day Blue Grass
Round-up and Chuck Wagon Cook-off
sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. The
nightly Rodeo is one of the largest amateur
rodeos in Texas. Daytime activities include:
parades, games for young and old (such as
frog jumping and turtle racing), a Rodeo
Queen Contest, Indian Artifact Show, Car
Show and lots of food and music. Find out
