Schulenburg is a city in Fayette County, Texas, United States. Its population was 2,633 at the 2020 census.[4] Known for its German culture, Schulenburg is home of the Texas Polka Music Museum. It is in a rural, agricultural area settled by German and Czech emigrants in the 1800s.[5]

History

In 1831, the Mexican government granted 4,428 acres (1,792 ha) of land to Kesiah Crier. Crier's family and the James Lyons family were the first European-American settlers in the area. The town of Schulenburg developed from two nearby communities: Lyons, founded in 1842, and High Hill, settled in 1842 and later named in 1858.

In 1873, the Galveston, Harris and San Antonio Railroad bought land in the area. They built a depot on the portion formerly owned by Louis Schulenburg, and named it after him.[6][7] The first train arrived on New Year's Eve of 1873, and the town was formally incorporated on May 24, 1875.

City in 1881

Many of the early settlers to Schulenburg and the surrounding area were immigrants of German, Austrian, and Czech descent, who came after the revolutions of 1848 in Europe. The area still shows evidence of their cultures.[6] For instance, local bakeries are noted for their kolaches, a Czech pastry.

Jewish immigrants also made Schulenburg their home, and many of them became merchants. Initially from Germany in the mid-19th century, they were later joined by immigrants from Eastern Europe.[8]
