History of Bandera

Bandera was settled in the early 1850s drawn by the cypress trees along the Medina River. A sawmill was built in 1853 which produced shingles from the cypress trees for builders in San Antonio as well as the U.S. Military.

Bandera was also home for the Apache Indians as well as the Comanche Indians. Many bloody battles between Apache and Comanche Indians and the Spanish Conquistadors took place in Bandera Pass (12 miles north of Bandera on Hwy 173). Legend has it that, for years afterwards, a red bandera (Spanish for banner or flag) was flown at the site to define the boundary between Spanish and Indian hunting grounds.

Bandera Texas after the Civil War was the staging ground for cattle drives which ran north as far as Dodge City Kansas, into Nebraska and for a time, clear up to Deadwood South Dakota.

As you might expect, Bandera loves to share its Texas heritage. The town celebrates the National Day of the American Cowboy in a big way, with rodeos and music and barbeque aplenty. The fun takes place on the fourth Saturday of every July. On Labor Day weekend the National Professional Bull Riders come to town as the centerpiece of Celebrate Bandera, the annual end-of-summer family-friendly festival that includes the Longhorn Cattle Drive and Parade, Circle of Life Intertribal Pow-Wow, Texas pioneer living history exhibitions and the Lonestar BBQ Societys Cook-off. Bandera also stakes a claim on one of the most popular cowboy Mardi Gras parades in the state, with the Annual 11th Street Cowboy Mardi Gras the last weekend in January.

Visitors can saddle up for a ride at many local ranches and riding stables or enjoy a real cowboy experience with a days-long stay at one of several dude ranches. And dont miss Arkey Blues Silver Dollar Saloon, said to be the oldest continuously operating honkytonk in all of Texas.
