Selma was settled in 1847 by immigrants from various European countries. The name Selma is a traditional German girl name. In 1849, the Harrison and Brown&nbsp;stagecoach&nbsp;stop was built in Selma to handle passengers and freight on the&nbsp;San Antonio&nbsp;to&nbsp;Austin&nbsp;stagecoach line. John Harrison and his wife Martha moved to Selma in 1852, and he became the first postmaster of the town when the post office opened in 1856. Harrison was also co-owner of the Harrison and McCulloch stage line, which ran a postal route through Selma. Harrison's house still stands by&nbsp;Cibolo Creek, where it was built and is listed on the&nbsp;National Register of Historic Places.
German&nbsp;and&nbsp;Polish&nbsp;immigrants constituted most of the next wave of immigrants that settled in the area. By 1885, the population was 145, and at the turn of the century, the population peaked at 600. The population began a quick decline, so much that by 1906 the post office was closed. Selma's population dropped to 100 in 1940. The city incorporated in 1964 and has seen tremendous growth along the&nbsp;Interstate 35&nbsp;corridor since 2000.
The Retama Racing Park opened in 1995, and The Forum, a 110-shop outdoor mall, opened in 2000. The old Harrison and Brown Stagecoach Stop was restored and rechristened the Selma Stage Stop, along with a visitor's center and park.
Today Selma is a bustling suburb of San Antonio, but it retains its German and European Heritage in its name and in the descendants of Europeans that still call this town home.

Flip through any S.A. family photo album, and chances are there's a snapshot or two of toddlers feeding ducks, teens lazing on the pier and granddads fishing.The vision of 19th century real estate developers, Woodlawn Lake was built to attract residents to what was then a subdivision on the rural west side of San Antonio. Through the years, it featured vaudeville acts and outdoor movies, added fishing piers, boat docks, running trails and raspa trucks. Woodlawn Lake&nbsp;is now considered one of San Antonio&rsquo;s urban core neighborhoods, but when it was first developed in the late 19th century, it helped create a new frontier for the city&rsquo;s growth. The neighborhood, on the near Northwest Side, was among the first subdivisions built outside San Antonio&rsquo;s city limits when three investors laid its groundwork in 1887 through their company, the&nbsp;West End Town Company. The area, which was at the end of a streetcar line, was known then as &ldquo;West End."
