In 1852, Gustav Theissen purchased 1,100 acres of land and with surveyor John James and platted the townsite named Boerne. The name was in honor of German-Jewish satirist and political writer Karl Ludwig Börne who had died in France fifteen years earlier. Theissen and James also helped settle Sisterdale.

Theissen was later known as a Wall Street financial wizard.
