Fredericksburg's history dates back to the town's founding in 1846 when the first German settlers arrived in the Texas Hill Country. Throughout its 175 years of history, the area has been home to several figures that have shaped the history of the world.

Fredericksburg's Pioneer Museum and Vereins Kirche Museum tell the stories of those first German immigrants who suffered hardships and overcame much to establish this special community, and the Gillespie County Country Schools showcase rural life unique to the Texas Hill Country.
