History
The settlement was originally named "Japonica" (a New Latin translation of Japan); it was changed to "Hunt" when Alva Joy purchased land in the area and established a U.S. post office on the site.
The Stonehenge II replica was built on the North Fork, north of Hunt. In 2012, Stonehenge II was moved to the front yard of the Point Theater in nearby Ingram.
On July 4, 2025, after large amounts of rain fell suddenly in Central Texas, the Guadalupe River rose 26 to 30 feet (8 to 9 m) in the Hunt area, triggering massive flooding.
