In 1930, the local Hondo Lions Club erected the now somewhat famous sign reading, "This is God's Country, Don't Drive Thru It Like Hell" at the city limits, with the intention of slowing down those speeding while traveling through town. Landmarks include South Texas Regional Airport at Hondo, KCWM and Ruben M. Torres Unit. Hondo is the birthplace of Clint Hartung, baseball player.
Hondo was the scene of two bank robberies in the early 1920s. The crooks were the famed Newton Gang, the most successful outlaws in U.S. history. Both bank heists occurred the same night.
In 1930, the local Hondo Lions Club erected the now somewhat famous sign reading, "This is God's Country, Don't Drive Thru It Like Hell" at the city limits, with the intention of slowing down those speeding while traveling through town. Later, in the 1940s, the sign was changed to "This is God's Country, Please Don't Drive Through It Like Hell" to satisfy those in the town who were displeased with the tone of the old sign. The sign has been in news and print in many magazines, including on the cover of National Geographic, and in the music video of Little Texas' song "God Blessed Texas".
The U.S. Army built an airfield in the town in 1942 to train new pilots; at one time the largest air navigation school in the world, Hondo Army Air Field trained over 14,000 navigators for service during World War II before closing in 1946.
