Ottine is an unincorporated community in Gonzales County, Texas, United States.[1] According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had an estimated population of 90 in 2000.[2] It is home to Palmetto State Park, which can accommodate approximately 500 daily campers.[3]

The mapped record of its area from 1856 indicates Ottine originally began as a former "Beaumont, Gonzales County, Texas" on the San Marcos River, northeast of what is now known-as Belmont, Texas on the Guadalupe River.[4]

Ottine is home to an urban legend surrounding a bigfoot-like humanoid "swamp thing".[5]

Ottine was also once home to an independent school district known as Ottine-Gonzales Independent School District founded around 1933 and in 1939 during the Second World War the Ottine-Luling Independent School District but the 2 districts didn’t work well now Ottine depends on both Luling and Gonzales’s Education
