Fredericksburg is a city in Gillespie County Texas.The population was 8,911 at the 2000 census, and 10,432 in the 2005 census estimate. It is the county seat of Gillespie County. The town is also notable as the home of Texas German, a German dialect spoken by the first generations of settlers who initially refused to learn English. They brokered with the Natives of that region the only Indian-Anglo treaty in the United States which has not yet been broken. They were an important part of the Pro-Union Texas resistance during the Civil War. Its concentration of German-American settlers means that it shares many cultural characteristics with New Braunfels, another German Texan town.
