Discover the unique charm of Governor Jim Hogg City Park and RV Park, a stunning 27-acre urban oasis that pays tribute to James Stephen Hogg, Texas's first native-born governor who served from 1891 to 1895. This historical park, originally opened in 1941 as Quitman City Park by the Wood County Old Settlers Association, has evolved over the years. In 1946, the park was renamed The Governor Hogg Shrine State Historical Park after seventeen acres were donated to the state. Ima Hogg contributed an additional 4.74 acres in 1970, and further expansions brought the park to its current size. In 2007, the City of Quitman acquired the park, renaming it to honor Governor Jim Hogg. Visitors can enjoy a delightful .5-mile nature walk that begins at a beautifully restored turn-of-the-century pony-truss bridge. Families will appreciate the playground, basketball court, and splash pad, providing ample opportunities for outdoor fun. The park also hosts the Old Settlers Reunion, a cherished event that has been celebrated every August since 1902 under the iconic pavilion. With its rich history and diverse amenities, Governor Jim Hogg City Park and RV Park is the perfect destination for those seeking relaxation and recreation in
