Natural Riches
But Grimes County's allure doesn't stop at its history or agriculture. The county is also rich in natural resources, including petroleum, natural gas, and lignite coal. However, one of the most fascinating aspects of Grimes County's natural heritage is the discovery of the first tektites in North America. Found in 1936, these glassy materials, formed by the impact of meteoroids on celestial bodies, add a touch of cosmic mystery to the county's already diverse natural landscape. It's this blend of the earthly and the extraterrestrial that makes Grimes County not just a place to live, but a place to explore and marvel at the wonders of our world.
