Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Stonewall, TX

Stonewall is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) on the Pedernales River in eastern Gillespie County, in the Texas Hill Country - it is a village, not an incorporated city.

Stonewall was named for Confederate General Thomas J. 'Stonewall' Jackson by Israel P. Nunez, who established a stage station near the site in 1870 and opened a post office there in 1875.

Stonewall is the birthplace of Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, who was born on August 27, 1908, in a small farmhouse near the Pedernales River.

Johnson's LBJ Ranch at Stonewall served as the 'Texas White House' during his presidency - he spent roughly a fifth of his time in office there - and Johnson died at the ranch in 1973 and is buried in the family cemetery on the property.

The Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park protects about 1,571 acres around Stonewall including Johnson's birthplace, the LBJ Ranch, and his grave, while the adjoining state park includes the Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm, where Augusta Sauer Lindig, a daughter of the farm's settlers, served as midwife at Johnson's birth.

Stonewall calls itself the Peach Capital of Texas, and the roughly 4,000 acres of peach orchards around it in the Hill Country produce about a third of the state's entire peach crop.

Stonewall sits on U.S. Highway 290, known as the Texas Wine Trail, between Fredericksburg 14 miles west and Johnson City 15 miles east, in the Texas Hill Country wine region formally designated an American Viticultural Area in 1991.

German settlers shaped Stonewall's early years - Andreas Lindig built the first limekiln in Gillespie County there, teaching other settlers how to manufacture lime.

Stonewall's population was just 451 at the 2020 census, spread across a rural CDP of about 15.2 square miles at an elevation of 1,506 feet, and local children are served by the Fredericksburg Independent School District.
