Kirby is a small bedroom community located within the corporate limits of San Antonio, neighboring Fort Sam Houston, Windcrest, Converse, Universal City and Randolph Air Force Base.
The city originated in 1917 as a pickup point for cotton and corn on the Southern Pacific Railroad and has since been a farm-to-market and residential center. Kirby continues to maintain its small-town flavor with annual community events.
Kirby now reflects a population of more than 8,600.
