In 2010 census, its population was 33,410.[1] Its county seat is Boerne.[2] The county is named for George Wilkins Kendall, a journalist and Mexican–American War correspondent. Kendall County is part of the San Antonio–New Braunfels, TX Metropolitan Statistical Area. Progressive Farmer rated Kendall County fifth in its list of the "Best Places to Live in Rural America" in 2006. Kendall, along with Hays and Comal counties, was listed in 2017 of the nation's ten fastest-growing large counties with a population of at least ten thousand. From 2015 to 2016, Kendall County, the second-fastest-growing county in the nation, grew by 5.16 percent, gaining 2,088 people in a one year period.[3][4] History{{Prose|section|date=December 2013}}Before 1850
April 20 – Adelsverein[7] organized in Germany to promote emigration to Texas. June 7 – Fisher-Miller Land Grant sets aside {{convert|3000000|acre|m2}} to settle 600 families and single men of German, Dutch, Swiss, Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian ancestry in Texas.[8]
Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels secures title to {{convert|1,265|acre|km2}} of the Veramendi grant, including the Comal Springs and River, for the Adelsverein. February – Thousands of German immigrants are stranded at port of disembarkation Indianaola on Matagorda Bay. With no food or shelters, living in holes dug into the ground, an estimated 50% die from disease or starvation. The living begin to walk to their destinations hundreds of miles away.[9][10] May – John O. Meusebach arrives in Galveston.[11] December 20 – Henry Francis Fisher and Burchard Miller sell their rights in the land grant to Adelsverein.

Kendall County is established from Kerr and Blanco counties, named for journalist George Wilkins Kendall. Boerne is the county seat. The Union League forms companies to protect the frontier against Indians and their families against local Confederate forces. Conscientious objectors to the military draft are primarily among Tejanos and Germans . May 30 – Confederate authorities impose martial law on Central Texas.

Scottish born Confederate irregular James Duff and his Duff’s Partisan Rangers pursue and overtake them at the Nueces River, 34 are killed, some executed after being taken prisoner. Jacob Kuechler survives the battle. The cruelty shocks the people of Gillespie County. 2,000 take to the hills to escape Duff's reign of terror.[20] Spring Creek Cemetery near Harper in Gillespie County has a singular grave with the names Sebird Henderson, Hiram Nelson, Gus Tegener and Frank Scott. The inscription reads "Hanged and thrown in Spring Creek by Col. James Duff’s Confederate Regiment."[21][22]

PoliticsKendall County constitutes an anomaly in Texas politics because it is a historically Republican county in a state that was overwhelmingly Democratic at presidential level until the 1950s and at other levels until the 1960s. This is largely due to the heavily German American heritage of the county and that the area Kendall County occupies was the centre of Texas’ small Unionist movement during the Civil War, when most Texas Germans acquiesced to secession but Fredericksburg and surrounds were still self-sufficient and sold surplus food to the army.[44] No Democratic Presidential nominee has carried Kendall County since Franklin D. Roosevelt won 88 percent of Texas’ vote and carried all 254 counties in 1932. In 1936, when Roosevelt won over 87 percent of Texas’ vote, Alf Landon carried Kendall County with over 62 percent of the vote, while Kendall was the nation’s southernmost county to vote for Landon. Since then, only Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and Jimmy Carter in 1976 have managed over thirty percent for the Democratic Party in Kendall County. {{Hidden begin|titlestyle = background:#ccccff; |title = Presidential elections results }}

Darmstadt Society of Forty{{details|List of Darmstadt Society of Forty}}Count Castell[46] of the Adelsverein negotiated with the separate Darmstadt Society of Forty to colonize two hundred families on the Fisher–Miller Land Grant territory in Texas. In return, they were to receive $12,000 in money, livestock, equipment and provisions for a year. After the first year, the colonies were expected to support themselves.[47] The colonies attempted were Castell,[48] Leiningen, Bettina,[49] Schoenburg and Meerholz in Llano County; Darmstädler Farm in Comal County; and Tusculum in Kendall County.[50] Of these, only Castell survives. The colonies failed after the Adelsverein funding expired, and also due to conflict of structure and authorities. Some members moved to other Adelsverein settlements in Texas. Others moved elsewhere, or returned to Germany. See also{{Portal|Texas}}
