Bandera County (Spanish: "flag", Шаблон:IPAc-en Шаблон:Respell) is a county in the U.S. state of Texas. It is located in the Hill Country and its county seat is Bandera.^[1]

As of the 2020 census, the population is 20,851.^[2]^[3] Bandera County is part of the San Antonio-New Braunfels metropolitan statistical area.

The county is officially recognized as the "Cowboy Capital of the World" by the Texas Legislature.^[4]

History

In 1856, the Texas Legislature established Bandera County from portions of Bexar and Uvalde Counties, and named the county and its seat for Bandera Pass, which uses the Spanish word for flag.

Native Americans

Although the county's earliest evidence of human habitation dates from 8000 to 4000 BC, the county's earliest known ethnology places Lipan Apache and later Comanche settlements in the area during the 17th century.^[5]

19th century

In 1841, John Coffee Hays and a troop of Texas Rangers defeated a large party of Comanche warriors, thereby pacifying the region in what became known as the Battle of Bandera Pass.^[6]^[7]^[8]

In 1853, John James and Charles S. DeMontel survey and plan the town of Bandera, which facilitates settlement by A. M. Milstead, Thomas Odem, P.D. Saner, and their families along the river. The families begin making cypress shingles.^[9] James, Montel and Company build a horse-powered sawmill and open a store within a year.^[5]^[10] In the wake of successive national insurrections crushed by Prussia, Austria and Russia, 16 Polish families arrive in Bandera in 1855 and begin working in James and DeMontel's sawmill. August Klappenbach opens the first store and post office. In 1856, the Texas Legislature establishes Bandera County from portions of Bexar County, and the county is formally organized.

By 1860, the population grows to 399, which included 12 slaves. By 1880, sheep and Angora goats become more profitable than farming.

20th century

In 1920, Cora and Ed Buck launch Bandera's tourist industry by taking boarders at their ranch,^[11]^[12] and by 1933, Frontier Times Museum opens to the public.^[13]^[14]

During the last 30 years of the 20th century, with an estimated 80% of its land dedicated to farming and ranching industries, the county government facilitates three major actions to preserve its natural heritage: the Lost Maples State Natural Area opens to the public in 1979,^[15] the Hill Country State Natural Area^[16] opens to the public in 1984,^[17] and the Nature Conservancy purchases Шаблон:Convert of the Love Creek Ranch^[18] from Baxter and Carol Adams to create the Love Creek Preserve in 2000.^[19]
