FOUNDED

Welcome to Dublin, Texas!  Dublin is located in the Southwest part of Erath County.  Founded in 1854 by A. H. Dobkins, the settlement was first named "Doublin" in 1860.  The origin of the name is still controversial.  The town was incorporated as "Dublin" on Mar. 18, 1889.

RESIDENTS AND THEIR BUSINESS

There are over 4,000 residents in Dublin.  The economy is largely centered around agriculture as it was in the days of its early settlers.  Many families are engaged in dairy farming, the chief industry of Erath County.  Other industries from textiles to energy production flourish here as well.
 
DR PEPPER

Dublin is the home of the popular carbonated drink, Dr. Pepper.  While Dr. Pepper is enjoyed all over the country, there is a special variety  only available in Dublin and vicinity, known as "Dublin Dr. Pepper."  The difference between this variety and the commercial one is that the Dublin version uses only pure cane sugar, no lower-grade or artificial sweeteners.

BEN HOGAN AND FORMER HOST

Dublin's celebrity is the famous professional golfer, the late Ben Hogan.  He was born here on August 13, 1912 and died July 25, 1997.

The Civil War group, Grand Army of the Republic, held reunions here at one time.
