Universal City, Texas. Universal City is located near the Southern Pacific Railroad on the northern edge of San Antonio in Bexar County. It was named by the developer to show the universal importance of the air base. Randolph Field opened on October 25, 1931, and the city was incorporated in 1960.
The first restaurant opened in 1939. The owner of Acme Lumber Company began the first profitable development of Universal City in 1950. He built the first homes in the Rosegarden area, and other builders followed, but there was little concern for expansion until the transfer of the Air Force Manpower Personnel Center from Washington, D. C., in June 1963.
By the 1970s Universal City had 7,613 people and today they have a population of 19,002 and over 100 businesses. Universal City is 90 percent active and retired military.
Coronado Elementary School was established in 1971, Olympia Elementary in 1980, and Kitty Hawk Junior High in 1976. These three schools are in the Judson Independent School District of Converse, Texas. Rose Garden Elementary opened in 1961, and North View, which handles special and alternative education, began in 1956.
Universal City has four parks and two annual events: the Veterans' Day parade and the annual Children's Christmas Party. There are churches of all denominations and a public library, which has over 18,000 books.
