Dutzow Post Office

The Berlin Society established a settlement at present-day Dutzow in the 1830s. [3] For this reason, it is often considered a "Latin Settlement". A post office called Dutzow has been in operation since 1869. [4] According to tradition, the community was named after Dutzow in northeast Germany, the ancestral home of one of the first settlers, Johann Wilhelm Bock. [3] [5]

Located along the Katy Trail, Dutzow sees considerable tourism each year. It is also the home of Blumenhof Vineyard & Winery. Another tourism draw is the Saint Vincent de Paul Church, constructed in 1874. [6]
