Where is Limburg, Texas?

Between 1844 and 1847, many German immigrants settled in Central Texas in what is now called the "German Belt." These immigrants, who primarily came from West Central Germany, settled towns such as New Braunfels, Fredericksburg, and Mason.

In order to add a bit of geographical authenticity to Waylon County, I dubbed one of the towns Limburg, after the town in the German state of Hesse, where many of the Texas Germans originated. Since Texas did not have a Limburg, I decided to give it one. 

Below you will find a picture of the package of Limburger cheese that Martina bought recently. Let's just say that it has a rather interesting bouquet. I'm sure my dear ol' dad can attest since a high school buddy once hid a package under the seat of his car.
