Comfort, Texas was founded by German pioneers in 1854. Their choice of a name for their new town was "Gemütlichkeit," which has no exact translation into English. Google Translate defines it as "coziness" but it generally means peace, serenity, comfort and happiness. In the end, they decided that it was much easier to pronounce "Comfort", and therefore a few miles north of Boerne in the hill county is Comfort, Texas. It is just south of Kerrville and much of the original townsite is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. A road trip to Comfort is a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon especially on a spring day when wild flowers are in full bloom along IH-10 West of San Antonio. And stopping at Popo's for lunch on the way is a must.
