Our Name
Geographical, Geological, Historical
Llano: Texas pronunciation= Lan-o
Spanish pronunciation= Yah-no
Uplift: Geological term for earth's upheaval
The Llano Uplift Chapter was
organized as a Texas Centennial Chapter, April 26, 1996.
Our Chapter name was chosen
because the Llano Uplift is a unique geographical and geological area
approximately 70 by 60 miles in size in the Hill Country of Central
Texas. It includes Llano County, western Burnet County, and parts
of surrounding counties. It is one of three areas in Texas with
exposed Precambrian rocks which are over a billion years old. The
Colorado and Llano rivers flow through the Uplift, the smaller Llano
joining the Colorado at Kingsland. Our membership live in both
Llano and Burnet counties.
