Kendalia lies at the intersection of RM 473 and FM 3351 northeast of the city of Boerne, the county seat of Kendall County.[2] Its elevation is 1,384 feet (422 m).[3] Although Kendalia is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 78027;[4] the ZCTA for ZIP Code 78027 had a population of 459 at the 2010 census.[5] The community is part of the San Antonio Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Likely named for early nearby settler George Wilkins Kendall, the community was surveyed in 1883, although a post office was not established until 1895. The local economy has long been dependent primarily on ranching, although many residents today work in cities such as Blanco or San Antonio.[6]
The Holy Archangels Greek Orthodox Monastery was founded by Elder Ephraim of Arizona in 1996 in the vicinity of Kendalia.[7]
