==Description==
The city is part of a group of three cities—Terrell Hills, [[Alamo Heights, Texas|Alamo Heights]], and [[Olmos Park, Texas|Olmos Park]]—located between [[Neighborhoods of San Antonio#Uptown|Uptown San Antonio]], [[Neighborhoods of San Antonio#Midtown|Midtown San Antonio]], Downtown San Antonio, and [[Fort Sam Houston]] (a [[U.S. Army]] post). Terrell Hills is bordered on the west by Alamo Heights, on the east by Fort Sam Houston, on the north by Uptown San Antonio, and on the south by San Antonio's Near East Side. It is part of the San Antonio [[San Antonio metropolitan area|Metropolitan Statistical Area]].

The community is named after Frederick Terrell, a local [[bank]] president who had served as [[mayor]] of San Antonio in 1901. Development of the community began in 1919, when Terrell sold {{convert|22.5|acre}} of property to a private association called the Terrell Hills Community. This organization managed the community until 1939, when it incorporated as a municipality. In 1945, the City of San Antonio attempted to [[Municipal annexation|annex]] the new municipality without permitting an [[Referendum|election]] in either Terrell Hills or San Antonio, but Terrell Hills successfully sued to block the annexation.

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|4.2|km2|disp=flip}}, all land.<ref name="Census 2010"/>
