Helotes was settled in the mid-1850’s by Mexicans who intermarried with the Apache Indians in the area. A man named Chaca is rumored to be the first person to build a home and cultivate a cornfield in Helotes, which in Spanish means “green roasting ear of corn.”

By 1885 the community had a postoffice, hotel, school, general store, and a population of fifty. By 1914, Helotes’ population grew to over 700, but between 1930 and 1945 it fell to about 100. Since the 1960’s the city has grown steadily. In the 2000 census, the population was 4,285 and has since grown to an estimated 6,187 by 2005.

Windcrest

In the beginning, Barbee and Murray Winn had a vision. In the middle of their vacant fields, where crops had been harvested, they viewed a city, yet to be developed, where people could live and raise families; where friendships would grow; where patriotism and civic pride would thrive; where peace and tranquility could be experienced. Enjoy the proud history of Windcrest!
