Helotes

Nestled in the scenic Texas Hill Country just northwest of San Antonio, Helotes is a charming town rich in history and natural beauty. Incorporated in 1981, Helotes takes its name from the Spanish word *elotes*, meaning "corn," and has been on Texas maps since the 19th century.

For decades, Helotes thrived as a quiet farming community, but its character began to shift with the opening of the iconic John T. Floore Country Store in 1946. This legendary dance hall, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated as a Texas Historic Landmark, continues to attract top musical talent and remains a focal point of the town’s vibrant cultural scene.

Today, Helotes offers a unique blend of small-town charm and modern growth.. With its family-friendly atmosphere and commitment to balancing tradition with revitalization, the Helotes community is a special place where the past and present come together beautifully.
