The History of Bee Cave (So Far) Bee Cave was settled in the early 1850s by Dietrich Bohls, who relocated near the confluence of Barton Creek and Little Barton Creek and founded what became known as Bee Cave, Texas. The town was named for a large cave swarmed by Mexican honeybees that lived on the creek banks and encompassed much of Western Travis County. A post office

opened there under the name Bee Caves in 1870 with Martin V. Lackey as postmaster. By 1871 Will Johnson was operating a trading post at the settlement. In the mid-1880s the Bee Cave community had a steam gristmill, a cotton gin, a general store, a church, a school, and twenty residents. The population fell to ten in the early 1890s but rose to fifty-four by 1914. (Continued on Page 3) The Ladera Bulletin - August 2018

Congratulations!

Two Ladera residents have been appointed to the Bee Cave City Planning and Zoning Commission. Congratulations to Steve Schmidt and Andrea Willott! The Planning and Zoning Commission meets every first and third Tuesday of each month. The meetings begin at 6:00 pm and are held at the Bee Cave City Hall in the Hill Country Galleria. Attending these meetings is a great way to know about future developments and city plans.

Let Us Know If you are out walking around the neighborhood and see a sprinkler head that is broken or spraying water in the road, please contact the HOA at sec@laderahoa.org and let us know the address. Even better, send a picture with your email. Many times, our neighbors are unaware that they have a problem with their irrigation system and we like to alert them. They will thank you!

(Continued from Cover) The post office was discontinued in 1915, and mail for the community was sent to Cedar Valley. The Bee Cave school was consolidated with the Teck common school district in the 1940s and with the Dripping Springs Independent School District in Hays County in 1951. The population was reported at fifty from the 1940s through the 1980s, and the town incorporated in 1987. The village of Bee Cave originally formed as a Type-A General Law city with an Alderman-Mayor form of government. In 1990 it was 241, and it grew to 656 in 2000. By that time Bee Cave had schools, parks and recreational facilities, and a public library. In 2006, the village of Bee Cave became a town, and by 2010 the population reached 3,925.

In February 2013, a commission formed, and voters approved the new Home Rule Charter in May. An elected City Council consisting of the mayor and five other members set policies for the City government. As of 2015, the city of Bee Cave had an estimated population of 6,515 in city limits with an additional 4,533 living in Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction for a total of 11,048. In late 2017, Bee Cave had a populations of 7,123 within the city limits and 5,377 in the Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction for approximately 12,500 total.
