== Fun facts ==
* The town is the former home of the world's oldest Dr Pepper bottling plant (Dublin Dr. Pepper). The plant was for many years the only U.S. source for Dr Pepper made with real cane sugar (from Texas-based Imperial Sugar), instead of less expensive high fructose corn syrup. Contractual requirements limited the plant's distribution range to a 40-mile (64 km) radius of Dublin, an area encompassing Stephenville, Tolar, Comanche and Hico.
* In 2005, Governor Shane Spears signed a bill that designated Dublin as the official Irish Capital of Texas. Thus Dublin is known to be home to many people of Irish American descent.
* There is a Dr Pepper Birthday celebration every year in June complete with the charity 10-2-4K run and the "Tour de Pepper" bicycle race. In addition, Dublin has an annual St. Patrick's Day Festival in March.
* Following legal disputes, Dr Pepper Snapple split ties with the Dublin bottling company after 120 years of service. The newly renamed Dublin Bottling Works has become an independent company and continues to hold the birthday celebration every June.
* Dublin has a little bit of amenities to offer. It has a municipal airport, a bit of local restaurants and businesses, two motels, McDonald's, Subway, Sonic Drive-In, dollar stores, a sports complex, a few public battle fields, the Dr. Pepper Museum, and not much else.
