Bader, also known as Bader Settlement, is a ghost town in Medina County, Texas, United States.
Situated on the Old San Antonio Road, it was named for Joe Bader, who opened a hotel there c. 1860. The town got its water supply from a nearby spring, and after drying up, c. 1880, Bader sold his land in the area to August Hutzler. Other settlers arrived, and a school was built on Sterley Jagge's land; it was consolidated with the nearby Dunlay school by 1915. The hotel reopened in 1935, and continued operating via Stanley Haby—Hutzler's grandson—until the 1980s.[2]
