Histori

German settlers first moved to the area around 1870. When Galveston, Harrisburg & amp; The San Antonio train was built through the area in 1876, the stop was named "Hilda". In 1900, a local businessman, C. F. Blumberg, built a general store east of the rail stop. Hoping to get a train to move the stop from Hilda to his shop, Blumberg called the site "McQueeney", in honor of the local rail inspector. The train was not persuaded, but the post office opened in 1900 was called McQueeney.

Lake McQueeney was created in 1925 by damming the Guadalupe River. Treasure Island, a bag of wealthy homeowners in the lake, has flooded several times, especially in 1972, 1998, and 2002.
