A piece of Boerne history is set to have a new name, following the Jan. 13 Kendall County Commissioners Court meeting. Commissioners agreed to rename the building located at 400 E. Blanco Road, which has been renovated to house county offices.

The details: At the end of 2025, a poll was conducted, requesting name suggestions from the community.

Precinct 2 Commissioner Andra Wisian said more than two dozen suggestions were submitted for the building name.

Prior to the Jan. 13 meeting, commissioners were given a list of 28 name suggestions, from which they chose their top 10 names for consideration.

County staff compiled the top name suggestions from each commissioner and the judge, selecting the most popular suggestions to create a top three list, from which a single name was chosen. The court agreed to name the building 400 Blanco Annex.
