Over the last many decades, the City of New Braunfels has transformed, welcoming a continuous influx of new residents and evolving into a beloved family vacation destination. Throughout the change, one aspect of our once small town remains unchanged—the rich history that is so well preserved and honored by the locals.
New Braunfels Founders Day, observed every March, commemorates a significant moment in 1845 when Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels officially settled along the banks of the Comal River with the first group of immigrant settlers, marking the birth of the city. This meaningful day honors the vision, determination, and pioneering spirit of the city's founders, reinforcing the sense of pride and connection among residents.
Each year new Braunfels becomes home to many new residents. We welcome these newcomers to explore all that our city has to offer, and join us in honoring the history of our home, New Braunfels.
