Medina County, located in the great state of Texas, was officially established on February 12, 1848. The county gets its name from the Medina River, which was named by Spanish explorer Domingo Teran de los Rios in 1691. Situated in the south-central part of Texas, Medina County is part of the San Antonio Metropolitan Statistical Area. Covering an area of approximately 1,334 square miles, it features a mix of hills, springs, rivers, and fertile plains.
The early inhabitants of the region were Native American tribes, such as the Coahuiltecans and Lipan Apaches. The first European settlers arrived in the early 19th century and were primarily of Mexican, Spanish, and Canary Islander origin. In the 1840s, groups of European immigrants, mostly from Germany, Alsace (France), and Switzerland, were encouraged to settle in the area by Henri Castro, a land agent for the Texas government. Later, settlers from Poland and the Czech Republic arrived as well, contributing to the region's diverse cultural heritage.
Historically, the Medina County economy was predominantly agricultural, with major crops being corn, cotton, and wheat. The introduction of irrigation in the early 20th century brought prosperity as farmers could grow fruits and vegetables year-round. Ranching also played an essential role, with cattle and sheep being the primary livestock.
A fun fact about Medina County is that it is home to the Hondo Anvil Herald newspaper, which was established in 1886 and is the oldest continually operating business in the county.
