History

Fredericksburg is a city in Gillespie County, Texas County, Texas, United States. Its concentration of German-American settlers means that it shares many cultural characteristics with New Braunfels, TX Braunfels, another German Texan town. Fredericksburg was an important part of the Pro-Union Texas resistance during the US Civil War War, facing ostracization from their neighbors who remained loyal to Texas. They brokered a peace treaty with the Comanche tribe that has been honored for over a century and a half, making it one of the very few treaties with Native American tribes that was never broken. It is the county seat of Gillespie County, Texas County.
