The city of Weinert got its name from Senator Ferdinand C. Weinert. He was a senator from Seguin. The town started in 1906 when the Wichita Valley Railroad was built.
In 1909, a big storm hit the community. The next year, in 1910, a fire destroyed many businesses in one part of the town. By 1940, more than 500 people lived in Weinert. However, the number of people living there started to go down in the years that followed. This happened because of new farming methods and changes in how people traveled.
