Comfort, Texas Travel Guide

Also see: San Antonio, Boerne

Northwest of San Antonio on I-10, Comfort is a community with strong German roots and ties to earlier generations. Settlers first planned to name the town "Gemuetlichkeit," meaning peace, serenity, comfort and happiness.

Today the streets here are as busy today as they were a century ago, when customers would come in to the local establishments for kerosene, oil, and washboards.

Many of these historic structures today house antique shops, restaurants, and bed-and-breakfast inns instead of feed, dry goods, and grocery stores of a century past. The downtown historic district boasts 120 buildings.
