Old River-Winfree, Texas is a town heaped in History and Tradition.  Founders Day is held the third weekend in July to commemorate and celebrate the founding of our community, to promote cooperation and volunteerism in the community, generate community spirit and recreation, and enhance the economic welfare of the town. 

July 1979  Old River-Winfree was incorporated, declaring independence against the threat of perceived taxation.

This tradition carries on as Old River-Winfree citizens to this day are not taxed on property.

Old River-Winfree Founders Day Celebrates not just the original settlers from the early 1800's, but also that independent spirit of those that gathered on that hot July day to band together and incorporate the town of Old River-Winfree.

This is part of the heritage and pride of our town.

City of Old River -Winfree

When the Vision of the Old River-Winfree Founders Day was brought to a vote, the City Council of Old River-Winfree said "Yes".   They provide the behind the scenes necessities of the "Founders Day" that doesn't get talked about or applauded, but must be provided nonetheless.  A Municipal Government that silently backs its citizens and tries to make this a better town in everything they do.
