<h1 style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">Bulverde, <em>San Antonio</em></h1>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Located around 26 miles north of San Antonio in southwestern Comal County, Bulverde&rsquo;s nickname is the &ldquo;Front Porch of the Texas Hill Country&rdquo; for good reason. It was first settled in 1850 by Anton Pieper and initially was named &ldquo;Pieper Settlement&rdquo; but later was renamed after an early landowner of the area, Luciano Bulverdo. However, a type of arrowhead specifically found in the area, called a Bulverde Point, traces origins back to the Native Americans who occupied the land from 2,500-600 B.C.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The population of Bulverde is nearly 5,000, so the town has come a long way from its beginning days. Children in Bulverde are served by the Comal Independent School District, and students attend one private high school, two public elementary/middle schools, and a private Christian learning center. The one public high school, Smithson Valley High, is located near Spring Branch but accepts students from all over the southwestern part of the county.</p>
