History
Bandera, Texas is on State Highway 16 fifty miles northwest of San Antonio in east central Bandera County. The site is on a cypress-lined bend of the Medina River and is known as the "Cowboy Capital of the World". The town and county were named for nearby Bandera Pass. Bandera was incorporated in 1964.
An ornate courthouse begun in 1890 announced prosperity from the town square. For local stock raisers, sheep and goats proved more profitable on the shallow limestone soil than cattle, but not until 1920 did the Bandera County Ranchers and Farmers Association organize cooperative storage and marketing of wool and mohair.
Until the San Antonio highway was constructed in 1936 Bandera remained relatively inaccessible. Other roads remained unpaved as late as the 1950s.
In 1920 Cora and Ed Buck began taking summer boarders at their ranch on Julian Creek. Other families soon advertised for guests, and by the 1930s Bandera had become well known as a resort offering riverside camps, restaurants, dance halls, and rodeos to complement surrounding dude ranches.
There are many stories about where the name "Bandera" may have come from. One says that back in the 19th century, a flag was placed at the top of a path that came to be called "Bandera Pass" due to "bandera" being the Spanish word for "flag."
Bandera has a number of sites on the National Register of Historic Places, including the County Courthouse and Jail.
