At the crossroads of IH-10, US-183 and SH-80, Luling is more than a pass-through—it’s a launchpad.

Add to that Texas' pro-business climate—no corporate income tax, competitive incentives, and a streamlined regulatory environment—and you've got the ideal foundation for long-term success.
But it's not just about logistics and tax benefits. Luling is a community where people still greet each other by name, where tradition meets innovation, and where a handshake still means something. Our workforce is loyal, skilled, and growing. Our quality of life is as rich as our heritage—from hiking and paddling at Palmetto State Park to celebrating the Luling Watermelon Thump and shopping on Main Street or at Buc-ee’s—life here is both fun and relaxing.
Luling’s historic Main Street is making a vibrant comeback—and we want you to be a part of it. Our Main Street Revitalization initiative focuses on preserving our architectural character while creating fresh opportunities for retail, dining, and mixed-use development.
