Hebbronville is located in northern Jim Hogg County at {{coord|27|18|41|N|98|40|52|W|type:city}} (27.311259, -98.680998).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref> It is bordered to the east by [[Las Lomitas, Texas|Las Lomitas]] and to the north by [[Duval County, Texas|Duval County]].

[[Texas State Highway 16]] (Smith Avenue) passes through the center of town, leading northward {{convert|40|mi}} to [[Freer, Texas|Freer]] and southwestward {{convert|51|mi}} to [[Zapata, Texas|Zapata]]. [[Texas State Highway 359]] (Viggie Street) leads northwest {{convert|56|mi}} to [[Laredo, Texas|Laredo]] and northeast {{convert|53|mi}} to [[Alice, Texas|Alice]], while [[Texas State Highway 285]] leads east {{convert|34|mi}} to [[Falfurrias, Texas|Falfurrias]].

===Climate===
Hebbronville has a borderline [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]] ''Cfa'')/[[semi-arid climate#Hot semi-arid climates|hot semi-arid climate]] (Köppen ''BSh''). Summers are very hot and humid: 152 afternoons each year top {{convert|90|F|C|1|disp=or}}, with 27.6 afternoons reaching {{convert|100|F|C|1|disp=or}} and during the summer of 2009 eleven afternoons topped {{convert|110|F|C|1|disp=or}}.<ref name="NOW">[[National Weather Service]]; [http://w2.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=bro NOW Data], Brownsville, TX</ref> During July and August combined, all but three mornings stay above {{convert|68|F|C|disp=or}} and seven mornings per year stay above {{convert|77|F|C|disp=or}}, with as many as forty mornings staying over this temperature during 1998. The hottest temperature on record has been {{convert|118|F|C|1}} on July 9, 2009, and the hottest minimum {{convert|88|F|1}} on September 30, 2009, followed by {{convert|87|F|1}} the following day.

During the summer, rain is not common, but when a Gulf of Mexico [[hurricane]] moves inland it can be very heavy. From September 11 to 13, 1971, a total of {{convert|14.10|in|mm|1}} fell over three days from such a system, {{convert|14.73|in|mm|1}} in four days from September 20 to 23 of 1967, and {{convert|6.00|in|mm|1}} fell on August 27 and 28, 1909.<ref name="NOW"/> In contrast, no measurable precipitation fell in Hebbronville from June 10 to September 7 of 1921.

Temperatures decline slowly during the "fall" season, remaining hot through until the end of October, by which time most danger of flooding from a remnant hurricane has passed. The winter months are warm and usually dry, although occasionally an easterly flow will produce substantial rainfall. Three substantial storms in February and March 1923 produced a total of {{convert|11.06|in|mm|1}}, and the ten-day period from December 13 to 22 of 1991 saw {{convert|7.13|in|mm|1|disp=or}} of rainfall; however, only {{convert|1.71|in|mm|1|disp=or}} fell between October 1970 and the end of March 1971. Frosts do occasionally occur during the winter – 9.9 mornings fall to or below freezing during an average winter – but measurable snow has fallen in Hebbronville only three times in 112 years – on March 10, 1932, on January 20, 1940 during South Texas' coolest month on record,<ref>[[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]]; [https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/cgi-bin/data/timeseries/timeseries.pl?ntype=2&typediv=1&state=+41&averaged=11&division=9&year1=1895&year2=2016&anom=4&iseas=0&mon1=0&mon2=0&typeout=1&y1=&y2=&plotstyle=0&Submit=Create+Timeseries Temperature (˚F) Ranking (low to high): Texas – Division 9: South]</ref> and on Christmas Day of 2004 when {{convert|5|in|m|disp=or}} fell in a famous "White Christmas".

Since 1905 the wettest calendar year has been 1995 with {{convert|42.75|in|mm|1}} and the driest 1996 with {{convert|11.52|in|mm|1}}, whilst September 1967 has proved the wettest month with {{convert|19.35|in|mm|1}}. The wettest single day has been September 12, 1971 with {{convert|9.40|in|mm|1}}.

==Origin==
[[Image:Abandoned Hotel Viggo in Hebbronville, TX IMG 3387.JPG|thumb|left|The abandoned Hotel Viggo (built 1915) is located across the highway from the [[Jim Hogg County]] Courthouse in Hebbronville.]]

Hebbronville is located on land which once formed part of Las Noriecitas, one of the earliest ranches founded in the area.

The town's namesake, James Richard Hebbron, acquired land, ''circa'' 1880, from the descendants of the original grantee, Ignacio Benavides. With two others, he bought {{convert|18000|acre}}, in what was then Duval County, just above [[Pena, Texas|Peña]]. One of his sons, Arthur Hebbron, came down from [[California]] and took charge of running his ranch.

Hebbronville itself was created in 1883, when the Texas-Mexican Railway Company built a railroad through the area. Francisco P. Peña, operator of Peña Station on this route, refused to sell any land to the Texas-Mexican for a townsite. The company then approached J. R. Hebbron, who arranged for the sale of land for the new townsite, near Peñitas. The old train station at Peñitas was then loaded onto a flatcar, moved 1½ miles west and named Hebbronville.

For a time, Hebbronville ranked as the largest cattle-shipping center in the country, and it continues to be a hub of ranching activity.

A photograph of James R. Hebbron hangs in the Jim Hogg County Courthouse at 102 East Tilley Street in Hebbronville. He was born in 1828, in [[London]], England, but spent most of his adult life in California, mainly around [[Salinas, California|Salinas]], dying there in 1926.
