About New Braunfels
New Braunfels, the Comal County seat, is the San Antonio metro's anchor north suburb — a city of well over 100,000 founded in 1845 by German settlers under Prince Solms. It has two personalities: the historic core and the Gruene Historic District (Gruene Hall, Texas's oldest dance hall, and the Guadalupe River), and the modern retail corridor along I-35 — plus Schlitterbahn Waterpark and the spring-fed Comal River, the state's shortest river.
