WIMBERLEY, TEXAS. Wimberley is on Farm Road 12
fourteen miles northwest of San Marcos and forty miles southwest of Austin
in western Hays County. The Blanco River and Cypress Creek are the local
streams. In addition to the bald cypress and pecan trees that line the
riverbanks, cedar, oak, and grasses grow in shallow, clay loams on the area
slopes and benches. When Hays County was organized in 1848 the site had a
small trading post settlement. In 1856 William Carvin Winters, a veteran of
the battle of San Jacinto, built a gristmill on Cypress Creek, and the
settlement came to be known as Winters' Mill. John M. and Nancy Winters Cude
bought the mill in 1864, and the settlement then came to be known as Cude's
Mill.
