History
Bleiblerville was named for Robert Bleibler, a Swiss immigrant, who ran the general store, post office, and saloon. Bleibler opened the general store in the area in the late 1880s. The community grew rapidly with the influx of many German immigrants in the late nineteenth century, and its post office was established in 1891. The community expanded in the 1960s with the increase of oil drilling in the community, in which it had 225 residents in 1966, but has since declined to 71 in 1972 and remained at that level through 2000. Theodore Wehring operated a cotton gin in the community in 1900. The American Red Cross had a chapter in the community during World War I that included ten black residents in its roster of 68 members. It had a population of 101 in 1904, which grew to 150 by 1925. It had four businesses in 1931.[2]
Although Bleiblerville is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 78931.[3]
