Cibolo, city in Bexar and Guadalupe counties in Texas, United States
Cibolo is a city in Texas, USA, split between Bexar and Guadalupe Counties, sitting along the corridor between San Antonio and New Braunfels. The Cibolo Creek runs through the city, dividing residential areas, shopping centers, and green spaces across its layout.
Cibolo started as a small settlement in the orbit of San Antonio and grew steadily through the latter half of the 20th century. The push for local governance led residents to incorporate it as an official city in 1965.
The name Cibolo comes from a Spanish word for the American bison, which once roamed this part of Texas. The creek that shares the name runs through the area and is a gathering spot for families on weekends.
A car is the easiest way to get around, as different parts of the city are spread out and there is limited public transit. Spring and fall bring comfortable temperatures for walking along the creek or visiting the parks.
Cibolo is one of the few cities in Texas that straddles two separate counties, which means residents on the same street can fall under different school districts. This split affects daily life in ways that often surprise newcomers.
