WHERE TO FIND COMFORT IN TEXAS – STAR OF THE HILL COUNTRY
September 8th, 2008 categories: Relocating to the Hill Country
COMFORT, TEXAS – Comfort is an unincorporated community in Kendall County, Texas just 45 miles from San Antonio. It was established in 1854 by predominantly “Freethinker” German immigrants.
There are well over 100 structures in the area dating back to the 1800s. Seven of them were designed by the noted architect, Alfred Giles.
The Downtown is filled with antique shops, restaurants, and B&B’s. The Kendall County Water District (which services the approximate boundaries of what is commonly called the Town of Comfort) estimates a population of about 2,500 in the water district which expands about 1.5 square miles or 1,000 Acres. 5,000+ people live within a three to five-mile surrounding area.
Comfort rests in the Guadalupe River Valley with beautiful Texas hills surrounding. The climate is slighly milder as the Guadalupe River and Cypress Creek merge just on the edge of town.
It has been called the “Star of the Hill Country” due, in part, to its location mid-point along the I-10 Corridor of the Hill Country.
Summer camps, wineries, and resorts are located in the area. It is quite a lovely town drawing young and old, shoppers, vacationers, cyclists, wine enthusiasts, bikers and those just looking to enjoy the charm of a Small Town in Texas. Comfort is known for its friendly people.
Some also might say that a feeling of peace and contentment can be sensed in this small community.
