'''McQueeney''' is an [[Unincorporated area|unincorporated community]] and [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[Guadalupe County, Texas|Guadalupe County]], [[Texas]], United States. The population was 2,397 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]]. It is part of the [[San Antonio]] [[San Antonio metropolitan area|Metropolitan Statistical Area]].

==History==
[[German Texan|German settlers]] first moved to the area around 1870. When the [[Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado Railway|Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio]] railroad was built through the area in 1876, the stop was named "Hilda". In 1900, a local businessman, C. F. Blumberg, built a [[general store]] east of the rail stop. Hoping to get the railroad to move the stop from Hilda to his store, Blumberg called the site "McQueeney", in honor of the local railroad superintendent. The railroad was not persuaded, but the [[post office]] that opened in 1900 was called McQueeney.

[[Lake McQueeney]] was created in 1925 by damming the [[Guadalupe River (Texas)|Guadalupe River]]. Treasure Island, a wealthy enclave of homeowners on the lake, has flooded several times, most notably in 1972, 1998, and 2002.
