It's just a little wide spot in the road in Texas near Cleburne...


The area called Goatneck became well settled by farmers during the late 1800's and early 1900's. It was during that era that the settlers petitions the Commissioners Court of Johnson County that the area be annexed to Johnson County. The Comissioners hearing asked for a description of the area. It was described by one of the men present at the hearing. After giving all the bends in the course of the Brazos River He said, "It is just the shape of a goat's neck" So the area has been called Goatneck since. " Herbert Blackstock Johnson County History Book.
"Dee Peterson, Goat Neck's oldest resident at 83, states that Goat Neck got its name during the legal transfer of the area from Hill to Johnson County. Clem Pierce, one of the early settlers of the area, was asked to describe the piece of land for one of the legal documents necessary to transfer. According to Legend: He said: "It's just a little ol' goat's neck out in the cedar brakes along the river." The name stuck and goat's neck eventually became Goat Neck:" Steve Bell Johnson County History Book
