Wimberley Memories From 1950s Boom and Growth
The narrative covers Wimberley development from 1950 onward, detailing Ja Wahrmund’s arrival in 1946 and land purchase that formed Five Acres air field before reconfiguring riverfront lots. It tracks the Pendletons, Humble Station, and riverfront sales, plus early expansion of feed and cedar businesses, rocky river ranch girls camp, post office roles, and the 1951 fire and 1952 new school construction with six classrooms, an auditorium, gym, and dining facilities.
