Bandera County, officially named "The Cowboy Capital of the World" by the Texas Legislature, is rich in frontier spirit. In 1852, John James, Charels S. DeMontel, and John J. Herndon purchased land on the Medina River with the intention of establishing a settlement that would ultimately become Bandera.

Bandera County had a population of 20,892 as of the 2014 Census. Medina Lake, Lost Maples State Natural region, and many other beautiful Hill Country sites are well known in the region.

Bandera County is included in the San Antonio Combined Statistical Area.
