San Antonio's oldest and most prestigious historic neighborhood, designated as Texas' first historic district in 1967

King William Historic District encompasses approximately 25 blocks south of downtown San Antonio, featuring the finest collection of 19th-century Victorian architecture in South Texas. Built by wealthy German merchants between 1850 and 1899, these magnificent homes showcase ornate details, spacious lots, mature oak trees, and authentic period architecture.
Named after King Wilhelm I of Prussia, the district preserves Texas history with landmarks like the Carl Hilmar Guenther House (built 1859), one of the oldest homes in the neighborhood. Today, King William thrives as part of the vibrant Southtown arts district, hosting First Friday art walks, galleries, boutiques, and restaurants while maintaining its historic charm.
