Description
Gruene, TX was first started when Ernst Gruene, a German immigrant, moved into the area to grow cotton. Mr. Gruene could not afford the real estate prices in New Braunfels, so he went down the river and settled what is now known as Gruene, TX. After years of success, Ernst Gruene added a dance hall to his settlement and this dance hall became the center of social activities in his settlement, drawing visitors from out of town. Today, Gruene Hall is the oldest Dance Hall in Texas and when you visit Texas, you should make a point to go have a beer at this establishment.
