Wimberley Holds Its Ground Across a Century
The essay recalls Wimberley Texas from 1874 to 1974, noting how horse and buggy life gave way to electricity and cars yet the community remains rooted in small landholders, churches, schools, and mill sites. It highlights the 1850s industrial shift, the 1934 millsite vacancy, and the 1974 revival around Cypress Creek with The Wimberley Bank shaping a new cycle.
