=== Gruene === [[Gruene, New Braunfels, Texas|Gruene Historical District]] is located within the city limits of New Braunfels. Founded by the sons of settlers Ernst and Antoinette Gruene,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Gruene Texas - About Historic Gruene|url=https://www.gruenetexas.com/about.php|access-date=2021-01-26|website=www.gruenetexas.com}}</ref> the community had a bank, post office, school, general store, lumberyard, gristmill, dance hall, and cotton gin. It also had access to two railways for shipping cotton bales. Its most famous attribute was the dance hall,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Historic Gruene Hall reopens with live music and coronavirus precautions|url=https://www.kens5.com/article/news/community/hill-country-reporter/historic-dancehall-reopens-with-live-music-in-gruene/273-3d63b951-e7f6-40f6-960b-32f4044454ac|access-date=2021-01-26|website=kens5.com|date=7 September 2020 |language=en-US}}</ref> a family activity in those days. Due to the failure of the cotton crop from [[boll weevil]]s, and the failure of the banks after 1929, commercial activity slowed to a crawl. This village is now a Nationally Registered Historic District where one can dine in the ruins of the original gristmill or enjoy live music at [[Gruene Hall]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Abrahamsen|first=Elizabeth|date=2020-12-23|title=10 Things You Didn't Know About Gruene, Texas|url=https://www.wideopencountry.com/gruene-texas-10-things-you-didnt-know/|access-date=2021-01-26|website=Wide Open Country|language=en-US}}</ref>
