Caesar is an unincorporated community in Bee County, in the U.S. state of Texas.[1] It is located within the Beeville micropolitan area.

The Pullin-Livingston Cemetery is the only thing remaining in the community today.[2] It was originally called Wolfe's Neighborhood after Peter Wolfe, who settled in the area before 1876.[3] The named changed to Caesar in the early 1900s, when R.L. Peevy built the first store there and applied for a post office.[3]

Caesar is located on Farm to Market Road 798, 8 mi (13 km) northwest of Pettus in northern Bee County.[4]

Children attended a local school called the Caesar School.[2] Today, the community is served by the Pawnee Independent School District.
