History
The development of Horseshoe Bay began over 40 years ago when two guys named Norman Hurd and Wayne Hurd began looking for acreage on Lake LBJ. What they saw was a property the locals know as the “Coke” Ranch as the owners, the Lupton family were Coca-Cola bottlers from For Worth. They immediately saw the potential for a resort town and on March 10, 1970, Wayne obtained an option to buy the ranch for $2 million under the company he established called Hurd Properties. Horseshoe Bay as it was called became known in the area for its drag boat racing and other water sports. Before its incorporation in September 2005, it was a census designated area. It is a popular resort community and golf course. It currently markets homes, town homes, condos and home sites.
