Kurten is a town located along U.S. Highway 190 in Brazos County, Texas, United States.

[11] In April 1906, the Kurten City Council passed a law that prohibited the sale and distribution of guinea fowl.

[12] Originally from Africa, these imported birds became very popular in the Central Texas region.

However, their popularity declined as the guinea population faced a rapid increase in number.

For 13 years, the fireworks show has drawn in large crowds from all over Central Texas.
