Acton, Texas

Acton is a small unincorporated community located approximately seven miles (11 km) due east of Granbury on the Brazos River in Hood County, Texas, United States.

[1] Acton was formerly called Commanche Peak and was later renamed to Acton, possibly after the old English word meaning "oak town", a reference to the large stands of oak trees in the vicinity.

The site consists of 0.006 acres (24 m2), which makes it the smallest state historical site in Texas (previously the smallest state park, until the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department transferred management of all its historical sites to the Texas Historical Commission).

Hiking and bike trails will lead you around the center's 80 acres (0.32 km2) park.

Acton is part of the Granbury, Texas Micropolitan Statistical Area.
