Victoria County covers about 887 square miles of coastal plain

Victoria County covers roughly 887 square miles. The land is nearly flat to gently rolling coastal prairie. It is part of the Gulf Coastal Plain. The ground rises slowly as you move away from the bays and rivers. The Guadalupe River is the main drainage feature across the county.

The city of Victoria sits about 120 miles southwest of Houston and about 75 miles northeast of Corpus Christi. That central spot in the Coastal Bend makes Victoria a regional hub. People from several nearby counties come here for healthcare, retail, and other services.
