About Gonzales Independent School District
Gonzales Independent School District serves approximately 3,000 students across six campuses in the city of Gonzales and surrounding Gonzales County in south-central Texas. The district covers a substantial area of agricultural land along the Guadalupe River, with the city of Gonzales at its center on the intersection of US Highways 90A, 183, and State Highway 97. Gonzales holds a significant place in Texas history as the site of the first battle of the Texas Revolution on October 2, 1835, when colonists refused a Mexican demand to return a cannon and rallied under the flag reading "Come and Take It." The city has a population of approximately 7,600 and serves as the county seat of Gonzales County, with a courthouse square, a state jail, and several historical markers throughout the downtown area.

Single-family homes in the city of Gonzales range from $80K for older properties needing renovation to $350K for updated homes on large lots. Properties with 5 to 20 acres outside the city limits list from $250K to $500K. Larger ranch tracts of 50 or more acres are available from $400K to over $1 million depending on water features, fencing, and improvements.
