Von Ormy combines the open, low-density character of South Texas with close ties to metropolitan San Antonio in a way that reflects its position on the Medina River in Bexar County. South of the city, it remains a small incorporated community within the San Antonio metropolitan area rather than an urban district. The town takes its name from John von Ormy, a Prussian-born settler associated with the community’s nineteenth-century beginnings. The Medina valley marks a transition between San Antonio’s built-up fringe and the open lands of southern Texas. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across South Texas.
