Zuehl, in brief

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Zuehl yet. The photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Zuehl ( zeel) is an unincorporated area and census-designated place in western Guadalupe County, Texas, United States. It is part of the San Antonio Metropolitan Statistical Area. Located on Cibolo Creek, it lies 13 miles (21 km) southwest of Seguin. The population was 399 at the 2020 census. Once known as "Perryman's Crossing", it was a crossing on the Wood Road, an early road between Gonzales and San Antonio. Wilhelm Zuehl bought the land in 1870 and two years later opened a store, from which the community took its name.

Its first post office opened in 1906. Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 376 to 399 (+6%).
