CENTER POINT - FULL OF HISTORY AND VACATION OPPORTUNITIES

November 14th, 2008 categories: Places to Go & Things to Do

Center Point is on the Guadalupe River eight miles southeast of Kerrville in southeastern Kerr County. Dr. Charles de Ganahl opened the first post office in Center Point (in his home) in November 1859. He called it Zanzenburg in honor of his ancestral home in Austria. The next postmaster renamed the growing community Center Point likely because the settlement was halfway between Kerrville and Comfort, as well as halfway between Fredericksburg and Bandera.

The Guadalupe River is dammed at Center Point providing a wonderful place for public swimming. It features a waterfall that flows even in drought.

Antiquers will find a fun place to stop on the main thoroughfare through the town of Center Point, FM 480, just across from the current post office location.

Continuing south on FM 1480, you will pass the historic Center Point Cemetary where many Texas Rangers are buried. Continuing further on FM 1480 is Verde Creek, one of the prettiest creeks in the Hill Country. It crosses FM 1480 several times as you make your way to Camp Verde. It is a very pretty drive very much worth your time. The following is a picture off the back porch of the Cabin on Verde Creek, a vacation rental that we manage.
