[4] The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cold winters.

A post office opened in 1882 and, by 1891, the town had an estimated population of 150, a cotton gin-gristmill, three general stores, a grocer, a blacksmith, a shoemaker, and two wagonmakers.

In the early 1930s, plummeting cotton prices and the Great Depression caused the town's population to decline from a high of 1,000 in 1929 to 550 by 1931.

[6] The Major League Baseball player (Owen) Chief Wilson lived in Bertram.

Named after the remains of the nearby community of Oatmeal, it includes a number of activities that draw attendees from all over central Texas.

Over the years, the money raised has built an open-air pavilion in Bertram and a community center at Oatmeal.

Financial assistance has been given to many local events including the Easter Egg Hunt, Santa's Workshop and Burnet County Livestock Show.
