KENDALIA HALLE DANCE HALL: Kick up your heels at a 100 year old (circa 1903) dance hall. Voted best wood floor in Texas. Available for dances, wedding and other events. "This beautiful Hall has a 2000 square foot hardwood dance floor which has seen plenty of boot scootin' over the years. The large Oak tree out in front had a logging chain permanently attached to it where unruly patrons would be handcuffed until sobriety returned. This historic Dance Hall still echoes from legends such as Floyd Tillman. An old Oak tree out back was bent by Indians to mark a trail years before the Hall was built. On March 28, 1997, "Live from Kendalia Halle" was recorded here." See full details in Directory below. NEARBY & HILL COUNTRY-WIDE ATTRACTIONS: See Attractions.

Although there were some settlers in the vicinity and in the nearby Curry's Creek settlement before the 1880s, Kendalia was first surveyed by D. W. Grady in 1883 for early settler Carl Gustav Vogel, who built a gin and gristmill at the town. In 1895 the post office records were transferred from Curry's Creek to Kendalia. Around the beginning of the twentieth century Kendalia had a general store, a post office, a drugstore, and two churches. Over the following years three schools served Kendalia. The community had several family cemeteries, including those of the Edge, Jones, Lawhon, and Schmidt families. Throughout most of the twentieth century Kendalia had a ranching economy that subsisted in various cattle, goat, and sheep ranches in the area. In 1940 the population was about 100. Kendalia was associated with nearby Edge Falls on Curry Creek, a popular recreational spot, until the 1970s, when the falls were closed to the public. In the 1980s through 2000 Kendalia had a population of seventy-six. Many residents worked in San Antonio or Blanco. In 2000 the town had a general store and post office, a community center, a library, and a Methodist church." EDGE FALLS: A significant water falls (dependent on local rainfall) exists on the Guadalupe River on private property between Bergheim and Kendalia. See full description and photos at Bergheim.
