Kyle

The City of Kyle has paused its annual attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest same-name gathering. The closest the city got was in 2023 with 1,490 people named Kyle in attendance.

The tree was set to be cut down, but after protests and community feedback, the Kyle City Council decided to reverse its decision and move the live oak to a near by neighborhood.

In a lawsuit filed last week, four residents allege Hays County did not provide key information on a transportation bond currently on the ballot. They also claim local leaders violated state law.

The City of Kyle is building a new water pipeline from the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer. It will help combat the city's persisting drought by adding close to 2 million gallons of water to its daily supply.

If your name is Kyle, a festival in Kyle, Texas, has your name all over it. The city needs 2,326 people named Kyle to break the world record for the largest same-name gathering.

Previously, the City of Kyle has bought water from San Marcos on a case-by-case basis. The new agreement runs through 2026 and ensures Kyle will have access to an additional 163 million gallons of water each year.
