Rates shown are nightly rates before taxes and do not necessarily reflect all Center, TX discounts available. The chart reflects the cheapest Center hotel for each day and each star rating category.

Located about 175 miles northeast of Houston, Center is the seat of Shelby County, one of the oldest counties in Texas. Originally called White Cottage, the settlement that would eventually become Center, had a post office in 1848. Later, an East Texas State Representative by the name of Al Johnson introduced a bill that required every county seat to be located as close to the center of a county as possible. White Cottage was renamed Center to reflect the county seat's requisite location. In January 1866, Center was chosen as the new county seat.

Center experienced relatively slow growth over the years. Today, it has a population of about 5,300 and covers an area of 6.2 square miles.

When is the best time to visit Center, TX?

Center experiences hot, muggy summers and short, cold, wet winters. Temperatures usually range from 39 degrees to 94 degrees Fahrenheit over the course of a year and seldom go above 100 degrees or below 26 degrees. For warm-weather activities, the best time to be in Center is from mid-May to mid-September.

When you're planning your trip, you should also consider whether you want to visit Center during peak or off-peak season. The city receives the largest numbers of tourists in February, May, and July. While you'll be able to experience Center at its liveliest during these months, you have to be prepared to deal with higher accommodation rates and larger crowds. If you want to pay normal hotel prices and have a more relaxing vacation, August or September may be a better time.
