Bandera County Historical Markers
NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 40
Have -24 Need - 16
Named for Bandera Pass. County seat is Bandera.
It is officially recognized as the "Cowboy Capital of the World" by Texas legislature. I believe this is one of the first I knew about Bandera because it instantly comes to mind when I think about this hill country county. In my opinion it is a beautiful part of Texas and others seems to agree because there has been houses popping up since I first laid eyes on it in 2005.
The markers, first I want to interate my thanks, on this page to Elenora Goodley, Bandera County Historical Commission chairperson. I write to a lot of county historical commissions but don't often get as a comprehensive answer to all my pesky questions as I did from Ms Goodley. So this is what I learned. There are some new markers that are up and accessible but we have simply not visited in a while to capture them. I will not be talking about those markers, just the ones I could not confirm by other means. The New Bandera Pass marker is not up yet but it is in the hands of Tx Dot. Big Foot Wallace was approved but never paid for, so it may yet happen. Hendrick Arnold Survey no. 59 Colored Burial ground marker is up. Pilot's Lounge at Bandera airpark was installed and dedicated and then taken down, there was dispute about the content of the marker so it will be amended and reinstalled some in the future.
