Stairtown is an unincorporated community in Caldwell County, Texas, United States.

The community came into existence during the 1920s, just after the discovery of Edgar B. Davis' Luling oilfield.

[2] There were a few oil derricks and a few homes in Stairtown, but those alone dictated that there was little need for a workforce in the community due to its proximity to Luling.

According to Oscar F. Stair's grandson, Fred, he was born in 1867 and his family still owns most of the community, which consists mostly of Mesquite trees.

[3] On August 28, 2008, a natural gas pipeline exploded and caught on fire in Stairtown.
