About Zip Code 78636
ZIP code 78636 covers the city of Johnson City and surrounding rural areas of Blanco County, with a total ZIP population of approximately 3,894 residents (2020 Census). The city of Johnson City proper has a population of about 1,627 (2020 Census) and serves as the county seat of Blanco County.
Johnson City is located at the junction of U.S. Highway 281 and U.S. Highway 290, approximately 50 miles west of Austin. The town was founded in 1879 by James Polk Johnson, who donated a 320-acre site on the Pedernales River, and became the county seat in 1890. The city has a strong connection to President Lyndon B. Johnson — his boyhood home on Elm Street is part of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park, operated by the National Park Service, and LBJ's efforts in the 1930s brought electric power to the area through the LCRA and the Pedernales Electric Cooperative.
The Pedernales Electric Cooperative, founded in 1938 and headquartered at 201 South Avenue F in Johnson City, is described as the largest distribution electric cooperative in the nation, serving approximately 300,000 members across 8,100 square miles of Central Texas. The 78636 area covers rolling Hill Country terrain at about 1,221 feet elevation, with ranchland, scattered cedar and live oak, and proximity to both the Pedernales River and the US-290 wine corridor.
