History
The settlement was founded by Silesian immigrants in the second half of the 19th century.[3][4][5] Prior to 1947, it was called Carvajal Crossing, after the nearby ford with that name, located on the Cibolo Creek. It was later renamed to Pawelekville, after the Pawelek family.[2]
In 1990, the community included a small number of houses, around several businesses that served the local agricultural community. Between 1964 and 1965, Pawelekville had 65 inhabitants. From 1970 to 2000, the population was estimated to be 105. In 2014 it had a population of 110.[2]
