Established in 1856, Decatur, Texas was named in honor of a naval hero, Stephen Decatur. It’s built on top of the tallest hill in the area, a strategy for watching for attacks from Native Americans. Nearby is Rucker Pond, a reservoir within the Lyndon B. Johnson National Grassland. Visitors can go horseback riding, hiking, and fishing to admire the scenery. Lake Bridgeport lies to the west of the town, a great place to spend the day on the water. The Palo Pinto Mountains are an isolated, rugged, and scenic range are great for hiking.
