The Neighborhood: Boerne, located in the picturesque Texas Hill Country, is known for its scenic beauty, charming downtown, and a mix of suburban and rural landscapes. Residents and visitors in this area often enjoy outdoor activities given the proximity to nature. The Kingsby Cottage is located 3 miles to the West of downtown Boerne and 21 miles to the East of Bandera, TX. The Kingsby Cottage is part of a historic land marker placed in 2015 for W. G. Hughes. The Cottage was the original school house for Hastings and the Farmhouse was the original structure of the Hastings Post Office. "The community of Hastings was established in the late 19th century with the settlement of immigrants from England who came to farm and ranch in Texas. William George (Willy) Hughes, at the age of 19, moved from Kensington, London, to Texas in 1878 to learn about the business of managing and marketing sheep and wool. Willy took Oxfordshire Downs sheep from England and started building his herds on 160 acres southwest of Boerne. His two brothers, Harry and Gerard, joined him in 1879. In the same year, Willy purchased his second piece of land where the ranch headquarters would be built. The Hughes Ranch engaged in breeding cattle, sheep, goats, and horses. The ranch expanded its operations to include U.S. mail delivery, stage line services, meals, tourism activities, and buying and selling real estate. By 1887, Willy transitioned from sheep wool production to Angora goat mohair production and became recognized as an authority on Angora goats. The ranch headquarters, constructed in 1888, still stands off HWY. 46. Willy married Lucy Stephenson, and she took charge of her own operations on the ranch. She managed a dairy operation with 35 Jersey cows and ran a resort business at the ranch headquarters called "Mineral Springs Ranche." Willy proposed a post office for the community, named Hastings Post Office after his father. It opened in 1890 in a room inside the Hughes Ranch House. In the same year, Willy started the Boerne and Bandera Stage Line Company, inviting tourists from San Antonio and Boerne to visit the Hill Country in Bandera via the stage line. Willy provided land to Kendall County for the Hastings School and continued to support the community until his untimely death in 1902 from a train wreck in Belleville, Illinois" - Marker is property of the State of Texas (2015).
