BANDERA, TEXAS. Bandera is on State Highway 16
fifty miles northwest of San Antonio in east central Bandera County. A
townsite plat for the settlement, designated county seat at the formation of
Bandera County in 1856, was filed with the first county commissioners' court
that year by John James, Charles DeMontel, and John Herndon. The site, on a
cypress-lined bend of the Medina River, had been occupied by Indians, then
by white campers making shingles. The town and county were named for nearby
Bandera Pass. The founders formed a partnership in 1853 to build a town and
water-powered lumber mill.

Have fun in the clear flowing, spring fed
waters of the Medina River, just half a block from your cottage door.
Fish, swim, canoe, tube, kayak or just laze around. The abundance of
native Texas Whitetail deer, wild turkey and numerous exotic game
animals have given the Texas Hill Country the well deserved reputation
of being a hunters paradise. Day hunts for Whitetail and Axis deer are
available.
