During an April 21 Comal County Commissioners Court meeting, the court recognized Cypress Bend Park in New Braunfels for being awarded a Texas Historical Commission Subject Marker.
The 15-acre park was founded as Eiband Park in 1927, according to county documents and is operated by the New Braunfels Parks and Recreation Department.
In the 1930s, an amphitheater and open-air pavilion were built, and Fort Sam Houston used the park in 1934 to conduct military exercises.
Historical subject markers recognize significant sites, individuals, events and buildings that are a significant part of Texas history, according to the Texas Historical Commission.
