Haven’t ever heard of Helotes, Texas? Then let us see what this small town is all about. Located about 12 miles northwest of San Antonio and in the county of Bexar, Helotes was incorporated in 1981 after more than a decades worth of deliberation and community consideration. The city has about 7,000 in its population and the area is known as Texas Hill Country. With almost 7 square miles to the whole city, most residents live in the proper city limits of Helotes. Before Helotes, Texas was incorporated, the city faced annexation from San Antonio just south of town. Helotes worked with San Antonio and they were able to reach an agreement that kept both sides happy. San Antonio would eventually and easily incorporate the town of Helotes in the future just by the growth the city is currently having.  

In the early days Indians from the Apache (Lipan) tribe would hunt for food and game during select times of the year. The Lipan called corn “helote” for food and this is how the town became to be known as Helotes, but the added s is a well-debated item of interest. The Indian Chief would declare the corn ripe and a special festival was held to celebrate the corn crops.

The growing of corn was an important development for the area. The Comanche Indians forced the Lipan out of the area and remained there long enough to give early settlers some unexpected trouble. Still, today in Helotes a festival is held each year on the first weekend in May to celebrate the corn crops harvest. The Cornyval is a large entertaining event for the city and many attend the different events held during the weekend. A rodeo, music venues, crafts, a parade, yummy food, beauty pageants, Civil war re-enactment and carnival rides on the midway highlight the event.
