The landscape around Schertz is a low, gently rolling prairie along Cibolo Creek, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. Situated northeast of San Antonio, the city extends into Bexar, Comal and Guadalupe counties, placing it where metropolitan expansion meets the older rural communities of south-central Texas. Schertz developed from a nineteenth-century agricultural settlement associated with Alsatian immigrant Simon Schertz, whose name the city carries; farming and ranching remain part of the area's regional heritage, even as housing and services have expanded. The Schertz Fourth of July Jubilee is an established local tradition, with civic festivities that bring residents together each summer.
