FREDERICKSBURG, TEXAS
Fredericksburg and Gillespie County have been an
alluring relocation destination since the German
immigration in the mid-19th Century. At over 1700’ above
sea level, the rolling hills and crisp, clear, low
pollution skies offer moderate temperatures and
humidity. Fredericksburg lies in the very center
of the Texas Hill Country, a geographic area that spans
all or parts of 15 counties in central Texas and
encompassing roughly 10,000 square miles. This historic
town, settled by Germans in 1846, is roughly 70 miles
west of Austin, the state capital, and approximately 65
miles northwest of San Antonio, home to the legendary
Alamo. (Courtesy of the
