History in
a Pecan Shell
Comal Town has actually been a part of New
Braunfels since 1847, but since the two are separated by the Comal
River, it has retained a degree of independence.
Juan Martín de Veramendi had received a land grant from the government
of Mexico in 1831. Maria A. Veramendi Garza was heir to the holdings
and where her husband started selling small parcels of the property
in 1846, settlement began.
After the “town” merged with the general population of New
Braunfels, the community maintained a school. Comal Town was designated
“Ward 2” of New Braunfels
around 1850. In 1947 Comal Town’s two elementary schools merged with
the New Braunfels’s
ISD.
