History
New Braunfels, Texas is the county seat of Comal County, is at the confluence of the Guadalupe and Comal rivers and the intersection of Interstate Highway 35 and Farm Road 725, thirty miles northeast of San Antonio and forty-five miles southwest of Austin near the southeastern border of the county. It was founded on March 21, 1845. The city is situated along the Balcones Fault, where the Texas Hill Country meets rolling prairie land. Along the fault in the city, a string of artesian springs known as Comal Springs give rise to the Comal River, which is known as one of the shortest rivers in the world, as it winds three miles through the city before meeting the Guadalupe River.
In 1947 the city incorporated eight suburbs within its limits. In the twentieth century New Braunfels added tourism to its major industries. The replacement of water and steam with electrical power in the late 1800’s made land along the Comal and Guadalupe rivers within the city limits available for public use. By 1936 the city had reserved much of this land for parks by purchasing Cypress Bend and Landa parks. The opening of Natural Bridge Caverns and the Wurstfest, a German-heritage celebration, in the early 1960’s also facilitated the growth of a tourist industry.
Tourism combined with the continued vitality of the city's industrial sector, along with city's proximity to San Antonio was another factor in its growth; in 1973 Comal County became part of the San Antonio Metropolitan Statistical Area.
New Braunfels has a sizeable German Texan community. New Braunfels draws a fair amount of tourists from across the state, particularly because of the cold-spring rivers that run through the city. Many generations of families still return during the summer to tube down the Guadalupe River and Comal River. New Braunfels is the site of one of the most famous water parks in the United States, Schlitterbahn Water Park Resort.
