Utopia, Texas

Utopia is a census-designated place (CDP) in Uvalde County, Texas, United States. The population was 225 at the 2020 census.

After the failure of the La Réunion colony in Dallas, Texas, Victor Prosper Considerant purchased 47000 acres of land in Sabinal Canyon in Uvalde County with the hopes of founding another utopian socialist settlement. That settlement never materialized.

In 1884, a survey was platted for the town of Montana, Texas in Uvalde County; upon discovering that the name Montana was already taken, the name was changed to Utopia. Utopia replaced the previous community of Waresville as the local post office; to this day the cemetery is named for Waresville.

Tourism to the city boomed after the 1979 establishment of the Lost Maples State Natural Area nearby; Utopia is also near Garner State Park.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 3.0 square miles (7.6 km2), all land.

According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Utopia has a humid subtropical climate, abbreviated "Cfa" on climate maps.

Utopia first appeared as a census designated place in the 2000 U.S. census.

As of the census of 2000, there were 241 people, 111 households, and 69 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 81.6 inhabitants per square mile (31.5/km2). There were 127 housing units at an average density of 43.0 per square mile (16.6/km2). The racial makeup of the CDP was 93.36% White, 0.41% Native American, 4.56% from other races, and 1.66% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 8.30% of the population.
