Leon Springs, Texas

Leon Springs, Texas

Leon Springs is an unincorporated community in Bexar County, Texas, now partially within the limits of San Antonio.

The region was settled in the mid nineteenth century by German immigrants, most notably Johannes von Meusebach, George von Plehve and Max Aue. Aue founded an inn which became the first stop on the Stagecoach route between San Antonio and San Diego. The community came to some prominence as the location of an officer training school at Camp Bullis. The original Romano's Macaroni Grill was founded in Leon Springs, however, the company closed down this branch after the second of two devastating floods in the late 1990s. The community currently has two Public Elementary Schools, Leon Springs Elementary and Aue Elementary as well as Baptist, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian and non-denominational churches.
