History
Kirby, Texas is a city in Bexar County, Texas. Founded as an agricultural settlement along the Southern Pacific railroad, the city was transformed into a suburban community upon its incorporation in 1955.
Kirby’s name derived from the Kirby yard of the Southern Pacific Railroad that crossed through the town. In 1920 the population was around 18 people, made up of mostly farmers.
In the 1950’s, the composition of the city shifted from mostly agricultural to military as individuals settled in homes to commute to work at Randolph AFB.
In 1955 the city was incorporated.
Kirby is characterized as a "home rule" city as permitted under Texas law. The city can govern itself, and mandate ordinances and actions as long as they do not infringe on state or federal law. The charter also identifies a city manager to be directed by the council, and accountable for the operation of the city.
