History
Bleiblerville was named for Robert Bleibler, a Swiss immigrant, who ran the general store, post office, and saloon. The community grew rapidly with the influx of many German immigrants in the late nineteenth century, and its post office was established in 1891. The town had a population of 101 in 1904, and expanded to 150 by 1925. The community expanded in the 1960s with the increase of oil drilling in the community, growing to 225 residents in 1966, but declined to 71 in 1972 where it remained up to 2000.
Although Bleiblerville is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 78931.
