[2] On November 25, 1859, the first post office was established and called Zanzenberg after the ancestral home of the town founder Charles Ganahl.

Originally opened in the home of Ganahl, the post office stayed there until 1872, when it was moved to the south side of the Guadalupe River, where a sizable community was being built.

When the post office was reopened, it was called Center Point due to its location on the trade routes.

Center Point experiences a humid subtropical climate, with hot summers and a generally mild winter.

Much of the information above was gleaned from "Kerr County Texas 1856-1956" by Clara Watkins revised edition of Bennett Book.
