Boerne, Texas Travel Guide

Region: Hill Country

Boerne (pronounced "Bernie") was founded in 1847 by German immigrants, members of the same group who settled nearby New Braunfels. They named the town for author Ludwig Borne, whose writings inspired many men to leave Germany for the New World.

During the 1880s, Boerne became known as a health spot, and vacationers came by railroad to soak in mineral water spas and enjoy the clean country air. Although no mineral spas remain today, Boerne is a popular weekend getaway for its Hill County atmosphere and numerous antiques shops.
