Cibolo has a rich history in the development of south Texas. Cibolo is located in the extreme western corner of Guadalupe County in south central Texas. Situated along Farm Market Road 78 and north to south along FM 1103, and paralleled by two major interstate highways, IH 10 to the south and IH 35 to the north. The City of Cibolo is within easy access of Seguin and San Antonio. Cibolo lies approximately 13 miles east of the San Antonio metropolitan area.

There were many settlers in the Cibolo area long before 1876. The Comanche’s and other tribes roamed this area before the first German settlers arrived. In fact, the name Cibolo is an Indian word meaning “buffalo”. The City of Cibolo was named after the creek that flows through the area. In fact the story goes that Mr. Schlather, a local businessman, was asked by the railroad to name the town; thus he decided on the name Cibolo. Generally, the history of Cibolo begins with 1876 because that is the year the Southern Pacific Railroad cut through present day Cibolo; it connected with other larger cities such as Houston and San Antonio.

The population for the City of Cibolo in 1970 was estimated by the U.S. Census to be 440. According to the U.S. Census the 1990 population of Cibolo was 1,757 and in 2000 3,035 people called Cibolo their home. After a challenge to the information published in the 2010 census, Cibolo's population was reflected at 19,580 residents and 6,575 households.
