  • Wimberley, History
    "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...." See Handbook of Texas Online
